David Gross – Some wonder whether some day we will arrive at a theory of everything and run out of new problems to solve – much as the effort to explore the earth ran out of new continents to explore.
David Ige – I stand here today – in the shadow of my parents’ and grandparents’ accomplishments – because of their willingness to sacrifice and look to my future.
David Livingstone – I determined never to stop until I had come to the end and achieved my purpose.
David Livingstone – I will go anywhere, provided it is forward.
David Lynch – Happy accidents are real gifts, and they can open the door to a future that didn’t even exist. It’s kind of nice sometimes to set up something to encourage or allow happy accidents to happen.
David Olusoga – Our national history cannot be national if, in the near future, one in three young adults feels their stories remain untold, if this country’s long global history of empire and interconnections is marginalised and if the historical reality of race is rendered almost invisible.
David Suzuki – The future doesn’t exist. The only thing that exists is now and our memory of what happened in the past. But because we invented the idea of a future, we’re the only animal that realized we can affect the future by what we do today.
David Suzuki – The human brain had a vast memory storage. It made us curious and very creative. Those were the characteristics that gave us an advantage – curiosity, creativity and memory. And that brain did something very special. It invented an idea called ‘the future.’
David Suzuki – The human brain now holds the key to our future. We have to recall the image of the planet from outer space: a single entity in which air, water, and continents are interconnected. That is our home.
David Suzuki – We must reinvent a future free of blinders so that we can choose from real options.
David Wilcock – Antigravity, teleportation, time travel, energetic DNA evolution and consciousness transformation could create a world few of us ever even dreamed of.
Davy Crockett – I now say that the oldest man living never heard of the president of a great nation to come down to open electioneering for his successor. It is treating the nation as if it was the property of a single individual, and he had the right to bequeath it to whom he pleased – the same as a patch of land for which he had the patent.
Davy Crockett – Throughout the day no time for memorandums now. Go ahead! Liberty and independence forever.
Dean Acheson – The best thing about the future is that it comes only one day at a time.
Dean Kamen – Everybody has to be able to participate in a future that they want to live for. That’s what technology can do.
Deb Haaland – Over-dependence on finite resources, like oil, ignores the ability of our great minds to develop alternative energy for the masses, and in doing so ignores climate change and sets up our students and workforce for failure by not educating them about the needs of our future.
Deb Haaland – We don’t have time to play politics with people’s lives or the planet’s future.
Debbie Ford – An exciting and inspiring future awaits you beyond the noise in your mind, beyond the guilt, doubt, fear, shame, insecurity and heaviness of the past you carry around.
Debbie Ford – To live in the light of a new day and an unimaginable and unpredictable future, you must become fully present to a deeper truth – not a truth from your head, but a truth from your heart; not a truth from your ego, but a truth from the highest source.
Debbie Stabenow – We want to develop innovative ways to promote savings so more Americans can save for their future…
Deborah Moggach – Everything will be alright in the end so if it is not alright it is not the end.
Denis Waitley – A dream is your creative vision for your life in the future. You must break out of your current comfort zone and become comfortable with the unfamiliar and the unknown.
Denis Waitley – As long as we are persistence in our pursuit of our deepest destiny, we will continue to grow. We cannot choose the day or time when we will fully bloom. It happens in its own time.
Denis Waitley – Learn from the past, set vivid, detailed goals for the future, and live in the only moment of time over which you have any control: now.
Denis Waitley – Losers live in the past. Winners learn from the past and enjoy working in the present toward the future.
Des Browne – We live in a very uncertain world, and I think that uncertainty of itself generates an environment which we should not make a decision that deprives future generations of the deterrent effect that the nuclear weapons have provided for us and for almost all of my life.
Desmond Tutu – When we see the face of a child, we think of the future. We think of their dreams about what they might become, and what they might accomplish.
Desmond Tutu – Without forgiveness, there’s no future.
Dian Fossey – When you realize the value of all life, you dwell less on what is past and concentrate more on the preservation of the future.
Dick Morris – Spontaneous combustion of grassroots politics is the future.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer – The essence of optimism is that it takes no account of the present, but it is a source of inspiration, of vitality and hope where others have resigned; it enables a man to hold his head high, to claim the future for himself and not to abandon it to his enemy.
DJ Spooky – Watching 40 mile chunks of ice break off of Antarctica will change your life forever, but realizing that driving a car, or flying a plane, or having a nice steak, or drinking from a plastic bottle all contributed to the destruction of the environment – it’s a bit complex, but music needs to pave the way for getting people to think about this kind of complexity. I’m just doing my share.
Don Mattingly – Nobody can see into the future. Nobody knows what going to go on.
Donald Trump – I try to learn from the past, but I plan for the future by focusing exclusively on the present. That’s where the fun is.
Donald Trump – No dream is too big. No challenge is too great. Nothing we want for our future is beyond our reach.
Dorothy Dix – I have learned to live each day as it comes, and not to borrow trouble by dreading tomorrow. It is the dark menace of the future that makes cowards of us.
Dorothy Draper – Never look back, except for an occasional glance, look ahead and plan for the future. Success is not built on past laurels, but rather on a continuous activity. Keep busy searching out new ideas and, experimentally, keep ahead of the times, or at least up with them.
Douglas Alexander – What people want is a sense of a better future to come.
Douglas Coupland – In the future, IKEA will become an ever more spiritual sanctuary. In the future, your dream life will increasingly look like Google street view. Everyone will be feeling the same way as you, and there’s some comfort to be found there.
Dr. Seuss – Only you can control your future.
Dwight D. Eisenhower – Neither a wise man nor a brave man lies down on the tracks of history to wait for the train of the future to run over him.
Dwight Longenecker – Like Achilles, the hero who forgot his heel, or like Icarus who, flying close to the sun, forgot that his wings were made of wax, we should be wary when triumphant ideas seem unassailable, for then there is all the more reason to predict their downfall.

E. B. White – I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority.
E. T. Bell – The mistakes and unresolved difficulties of the past in mathematics have always been the opportunities of its future.
Eckhart Tolle – Discontent, blaming, complaining, self-pity cannot serve as a foundation for a good future, no matter how much effort you make.
Eckhart Tolle – Don’t wait to be successful at some future point. Have a successful relationship with the present moment and be fully present in whatever you are doing. That is success.
Eckhart Tolle – People look to time in expectation that it will eventually make them happy, but you cannot find true happiness by looking toward the future.
Eckhart Tolle – People tend to dwell more on negative things than on good things. So the mind then becomes obsessed with negative things, with judgments, guilt and anxiety produced by thoughts about the future and so on.
Eckhart Tolle – The power for creating a better future is contained in the present moment: You create a good future by creating a good present.
Eckhart Tolle – You can always cope with the present moment, but you cannot cope with something that is only a mind projection – you cannot cope with the future.
Ed Markey – Although children are only 24 percent of the population, they’re 100 percent of our future and we cannot afford to provide any child with a substandard education.
Ed Markey – Education is not only a ladder of opportunity, but it is also an investment in our future.
Ed Markey – We must vote for hope, vote for life, vote for a brighter future for all of our loved ones.
Eden Phillpotts – I used to hurt so badly that I’d ask God why, what have I done to deserve any of this? I feel now He was preparing me for this, for the future. That’s the way I see it.
Edgar Allan Poe – It is by no means an irrational fancy that, in a future existence, we shall look upon what we think our present existence, as a dream.
Edgar Mitchell – Space exploration must be undertaken not only out of simple human curiosity but also to further the survival of the species. The twentieth century has seen the unprecedented development and proliferation of magnificent technologies. Many of them, through design, ignorance, or misuse, are capable of destroying life as well as enhancing it. Space exploration alone holds the promise of eventual escape from a dying planet, provided we wisely manage our resources in the meantime and actually survive that long.
Edmund Burke – You can never plan the future by the past.
Edmund Hillary – I don’t spend a lot of time thinking about dying, but I like to think that I’ve – if it did occur – that I would die peacefully and not make too much of a fuss about it.
Edmund Hillary – While on top of Everest, I looked across the valley towards the great peak Makalu and mentally worked out a route about how it could be climbed. It showed me that even though I was standing on top of the world, it wasn’t the end of everything. I was still looking beyond to other interesting challenges.
Edward Young – The future… seems to me no unified dream but a mince pie, long in the baking, never quite done.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin – Every action of our lives touches on some chord that will vibrate in eternity.
Eileen Caddy – Set your sights high, the higher the better. Expect the most wonderful things to happen, not in the future but right now. Realize that nothing is too good. Allow absolutely nothing to hamper you or hold you up in any way.
Eleanor Roosevelt – The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.
Elie Wiesel – It all happened so fast. The ghetto. The deportation. The sealed cattle car. The fiery altar upon which the history of our people and the future of mankind were meant to be sacrificed.
Elie Wiesel – Without memory, there is no culture. Without memory, there would be no civilization, no society, no future.
Elijah Cummings – Our children are the living messages we send to a future we will ever see… Will we rob them of their destiny? Will we rob them of their dreams? No – we will not do that.
Eliot Engel – We all would like to see a brighter future for Haiti, and I hope this conference will serve to explore many views. Respect for human rights, freedom, and the rule of law must be established in the poorest nation in our hemisphere.
Elizabeth Kapu’uwailani Lindsey – I believe that when an elder dies, a library is burned: vast sums of wisdom and knowledge are lost. Throughout the world libraries are ablaze with scant attention.
Elizabeth Kapu’uwailani Lindsey – My work is as an ethnographic rescuer: a conduit between past and future generations. The urgency of this effort cannot be overstated.
Elizabeth Warren – A good education is a foundation for a better future.
Ellen Glasgow – Life is never what one dreams. It is seldom what one desires, but for the vital spirit and the eager mind, the future will always hold the search for buried treasure and the possibility of high adventure.
Ellen Johnson Sirleaf – The future belongs to us, because we have taken charge of it. We have the commitment, we have the resourcefulness, and we have the strength of our people to share the dream across Africa of clean water for all.
Ellison Onizuka – Every generation has the obligation to free men’s minds for a look at new worlds . . . to look out from a higher plateau than the last generation.
Elon Musk – I really do encourage other manufacturers to bring electric cars to market. It’s a good thing, and they need to bring it to market and keep iterating and improving and make better and better electric cars, and that’s what going to result in humanity achieving a sustainable transport future. I wish it was growing faster than it is.
Elon Musk – I think we have a duty to maintain the light of consciousness to make sure it continues into the future.
Elon Musk – If humanity doesn’t land on Mars in my lifetime, I would be very disappointed.
Elon Musk – If you get up in the morning and think the future is going to be better, it is a bright day. Otherwise, it’s not.
Elon Musk – I’m interested in things that change the world or that affect the future and wondrous, new technology where you see it, and you’re like, ‘Wow, how did that even happen? How is that possible?’
Elon Musk – In order for us to have a future that’s exciting and inspiring, it has to be one where we’re a space-bearing civilization.
Elon Musk – The future of humanity is going to bifurcate in two directions: Either it’s going to become multiplanetary, or it’s going to remain confined to one planet and eventually there’s going to be an extinction event.
Elon Musk – The value of beauty and inspiration is very much underrated, no question. But I want to be clear: I’m not trying to be anyone’s savior. I’m just trying to think about the future and not be sad.
Elon Musk – There have to be reasons that you get up in the morning and you want to live. Why do you want to live? What’s the point? What inspires you? What do you love about the future? If the future does not include being out there among the stars and being a multi-planet species, I find that incredibly depressing.
Emile Zola – I believe that the future of humanity is in the progress of reason through science. I believe that the pursuit of truth, through science, is the divine ideal which man should propose to himself.
Enric Sala – Fish banks are areas we set aside without fishing, reserves where we allow marine life to come back.
Enric Sala – The Ocean Health Index is like the thermometer of the ocean. It will allow us to take the temperature to know what is going on at the global level, trying to integrate different impacts, including overfishing, invasive species, coastal development, and climate change.
Enric Sala – The ocean is like a checking account where everybody withdraws but nobody makes a deposit. This is what’s happening because of overfishing.
Enric Sala – The seas need their own Kyoto Protocol.
Enrique Pena Nieto – Important reserves of natural resources, like petroleum and precious metals, are the bulwarks for laying the foundations for the future.
Eric Hoffer – The only way to predict the future is to have power to shape the future.
Eric Metaxas – No one knows what the future holds, except the One Who holds the future!
Erich Fromm – The danger of the past was that men became slaves. The danger of the future is that men may become robots.
Erna Solberg – We have to dare to modernize to get room to maneuver for the priorities in the future.
Esther McVey – When I speak to young people around the country, I’m impressed with the confidence and self-assuredness with which they look to the future and the range of options they consider beyond traditional routes.
Etty Hillesum – If one burdens the future with one’s worries, it cannot grow organically. I am filled with confidence, not that I shall succeed in worldly things, but that even when things go badly for me I shall still find life good and worth living.
Euripides – Know we how many tomorrows the gods intend for our todays.
Euripides – Whoso neglects learning in his youth, loses the past and is dead for the future.
Ezekiel Emanuel – Vaccines are the most cost-effective health care interventions there are. A dollar spent on a childhood vaccination not only helps save a life, but greatly reduces spending on future healthcare.

F. L. Lucas – The only hope I can see for the future depends on a wiser and braver use of the reason, not a panic flight from it.
F. Sionil Jose – The influence of teachers extends beyond the classroom, well into the future. It is they who shape and enrich the minds of the young, who touch their hearts and souls. It is they who shape a nation’s future.
Fela Kuti – The African mind has a lot to contribute, not only to world understanding of the arts, but to an understanding of spiritualism. That is the contribution Africa will make to the world of the future – an injection of sanity into the environment of the universe itself.
Felix Bloch – Thanking you once more, I want to wish you the best of luck for your future life and to conclude by saying to you: Dream your dreams and may they come true!
Fernando Flores – You have to be able to risk your identity for a bigger future than the present you are living.
Fidel Castro – A revolution is a struggle to the death between the future and the past.
Frances Beinecke – Instead of hazarding our future on the dirty fuels of the past, let’s invest in clean power that can drive this country forward. Let’s cut energy waste, make our economy the world’s most efficient, and give our workers a leg up in the global marketplace.
Francois Jacob – One of the deepest functions of a living organisms is to look ahead… to produce future.
Francois-Henri Pinault – Sustainable development is a fundamental break that’s going to reshuffle the entire deck. There are companies today that are going to dominate in the future simply because they understand that.
Frank Herbert – If we define Futurism as an exploration beyond accepted limits, then the nature of limiting systems becomes the first object of exploration.
Frank Moore Colby – Every man ought to be inquisitive through every hour of his great adventure down to the day when he shall no longer cast a shadow in the sun. For if he dies without a question in his heart, what excuse is there for his continuance?
Franklin Chang Diaz – My vision is a future for humanity where we will be completely free to pursue activities outside of our planet.
Frans Lanting – Biodiversity starts in the distant past and it points toward the future.
Fred Rogers – Parents are like shuttles on a loom. They join the threads of the past with threads of the future and leave their own bright patterns as they go.
Frederick Douglass – We have to do with the past only as we can make it useful to the present and the future.
Frederick W. Taylor – In the past the man has been first; in the future the system must be first… The first object of any good system must be that of developing first class men.
Freeman Dyson – The purpose of thinking about the future is not to predict it but to raise people’s hopes.
Fridtjof Nansen – Alas! Alas! Life is full of disappointments; as one reaches one ridge there is always another and a higher one beyond which blocks the view.
Fridtjof Nansen – I demolish my bridges behind me – then there is no choice but forward.
Fridtjof Nansen – Never keep a line of retreat: it is a wretched invention.
Friedrich Nietzsche – The future influences the present just as much as the past.
Fujio Mitarai – Diversification and globalization are the keys to the future.
Future – Future’s not everybody. The people who are taking my style are like my babies. I’ve got a tribe of kids that want to be like me… But I understand why people want to imitate the things I do. They’re dope. It comes naturally to me. My fans can expect greatness. If I wasn’t me, I would want to be me.
Future – G-Rock from the Westside, from Allen Temple. He gave my name, The Future; he was like, ‘Man, you the future.’ Just stuck with the name.

Gail Collins – I did some research once on the way people in the past imagined the year 2000. They tended to picture the things they already had getting more sophisticated – flying cars, self-cleaning windows. And the folks in the early 1900s had a wildly optimistic estimate of the future of pneumatic tubes.
Gal Gadot – Wonder Woman is a fighter, better than most, but it’s what she fights for that is important. It’s her vision of a future of peace and acceptance that makes her the right ambassador for everyone.
Gary Zukav – The winter solstice has always been special to me as a barren darkness that gives birth to a verdant future beyond imagination, a time of pain and withdrawal that produces something joyfully inconceivable, like a monarch butterfly masterfully extracting itself from the confines of its cocoon, bursting forth into unexpected glory.
Gene Oliver – My past is my wisdom to use today… my future is my wisdom yet to experience. Be in the present because that is where life resides.
George Allen, Sr. – Forget the past – the future will give you plenty to worry about.
George Bernard Shaw – We are made wise not by the recollection of our past, but by the responsibility for our future.

George Eliot – I desire no future that will break the ties with the past.
George Herbert – Hope is the poor man’s bread.
George Linnaeus Banks – For the cause that lacks assistance, the wrong that needs resistance, for the future in the distance, and the good that I can do.
George MacDonald – The best preparation for the future is the present well seen to, and the last duty done.
George Orwell – All political thinking for years past has been vitiated in the same way. People can foresee the future only when it coincides with their own wishes, and the most grossly obvious facts can be ignored when they are unwelcome.
George Orwell – If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face – forever.
George Ripley – To that movement, consecrated by religious principle, sustained by an awful sense of justice, and cheered by the brightest hopes of future good, all our powers, talents, and attainments are devoted.
George Santayana – We must welcome the future, remembering that soon it will be the past; and we must respect the past, remembering that it was once all that was humanly possible.
George Will – The future has a way of arriving unannounced.
Gerard Way – One day your life will flash before your eyes. Make sure it’s worth watching
Gianni Versace – I am not interested in the past, except as the road to the future.
Giannis Antetokounmpo – Before I leave this earth, I’m going to help people have a better future.
Gifford Pinchot – The vast possibilities of our great future will become realities only if we make ourselves responsible for that future.
Gilbert Parker – Tomorrow is no man’s gift.
Ginni Rometty – You define yourself by either what your clients want or what you believe they’ll need for the future. So: Define yourself by your client, not your competitor.
Giorgio Napolitano – We owe it to our children to give them a dignified and hopeful future.
Gloria Reuben – A transition to clean energy is about making an investment in our future.
Gloria Steinem – The future depends entirely on what each of us does every day; a movement is only people moving.
Goldie Hawn – You have to look to the future with optimism instead of negative ideas. Take the good and the bad and face it head on.

Graham Greene – There is always one moment in childhood when the door opens and lets the future in.
Grant Imahara – Augmented and virtual reality technologies are the future of smart construction and we are just starting to see the possibilities.
Greg Boyle – Even gang members imagine a future that doesn’t include gangs.
Gregory Stock – If out of concern over cloning, the U.S. Congress succeeds in criminalizing embryonic stem-cell research that might bring treatments for Alzheimer’s disease or diabetes – and Dr. Fukuyama lent his name to a petition that supported such laws – there would be real victims: present and future sufferers of those diseases.
Gregory Stock – The genomics revolution, proteomics, metabolomics, all of these ‘omics’ that sound so terrific on grants and on business plans. What we’re doing is we are seizing control of our evolutionary future. I mean we’re essentially using technology to just jam evolution into fast-forward.
Gunter Grass – We already have the statistics for the future: the growth percentages of pollution, overpopulation, desertification. The future is already in place.
Guo Guangchang – Our focus going forward is on sectors where the life of China’s middle class can be upgraded: health, travel, leisure, education, and the Internet. We call it marrying China’s growth with global resources.
Gustave Flaubert – The future is the worst thing about the present.
Gustave Flaubert – The most glorious moments in your life are not the so-called days of success, but rather those days when out of dejection and despair you feel rise in you a challenge to life, and the promise of future accomplishments.
Guy Finley – Being fully present is the best guarantee for a bright future.
Gwynne Shotwell – If you’re not looking toward the future or trying to improve the current technology, you’ll be left behind.

H. G. Wells – Every time I see an adult on a bicycle, I no longer despair for the future of the human race.
H. Jackson Brown, Jr. – Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
H. R. Giger – Some people would say my paintings show a future world and maybe they do, but I paint from reality. I put several things and ideas together, and perhaps, when I have finished, it could show the future.
Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa – Bahrain’s margin of freedom is growing day after day as we head into the future with steady steps.
Hank Stram – Yesterday is a cancelled check. Today is cash on the line. Tomorrow is a promissory note.
Hannah Arendt – Promises are the uniquely human way of ordering the future, making it predictable and reliable to the extent that this is humanly possible.
Hannah Fry – The future doesn’t just happen. We are building it, and we are building it all the time.
Harold Prince – I don’t compare shows. It’s very simple. I don’t live in the past. If there’s any secret to my longevity, it’s living in the future. And a little bit in the present.
Heather Brooke – The hacker community may be small, but it possesses the skills that are driving the global economies of the future.
Heather Cox Richardson – Historians are prophets of the past, not of the future.
Heidi Hayes Jacobs – As educators, we are only as effective as what we know. If we have no working knowledge of what students studied in previous years, how can we build on their learning? If we have no insight into the curriculum in later grades, how can we prepare learners for future classes?
Heinrich Heine – He only profits from praise who values criticism.
Henri Coanda – These airplanes we have today are no more than a perfection of a toy made of paper children use to play with. My opinion is we should search for a completely different flying machine, based on other flying principles. I consider the aircraft of the future, that which will take off vertically, fly as usual and land vertically. This flying machine should have no parts in movement. The idea came from the huge power of the cyclons.
Henri Frederic Amiel – Everything you need for better future and success has already been written. And guess what? All you have to do is go to the library.
Henri Nouwen – The Christian leader of the future is called to be completely irrelevant and to stand in this world with nothing to offer but his or her own vulnerable self. God loves us, not because of what we do or accomplish, but because God has created and redeemed us in love.
Henri Nouwen – The real enemies of our life are the ‘oughts’ and the ‘ifs.’ They pull us backward into the unalterable past and forward into the unpredictable future. But real life takes place in the here and now.
Henry B. Eyring – There is a danger in the word someday when what it means is “not this day.”…The scriptures make the danger of delay clear. It is that we may discover that we have run out of time. The God who gives us each day as a treasure will require an accounting. We will weep, and He will weep, if we have intended to repent and to serve Him in tomorrows which never came or have dreamt of yesterdays where the opportunity to act was past. This day is a precious gift of God. The thought “Someday I will” can be a thief of the opportunities of time and the blessings of eternity.
Henry Giroux – As the humanities and liberal arts are downsized, privatized, and commodified, higher education finds itself caught in the paradox of claiming to invest in the future of young people while offering them few intellectual, civic, and moral supports.
Henry Kissinger – We cannot always assure the future of our friends; we have a better chance of assuring our future if we remember who our friends are.
Henry Miller – Every man has his own destiny: the only imperative is to follow it, to accept it, no matter where it leads him.
Henry Norris Russell – Just what future the Designer of the universe has provided for the souls of men I do not know, I cannot prove. But I find that the whole order of Nature confirms my confidence that, if it is not like our noblest hopes and dreams, it will transcend them.
Henry R. Luce – Business, more than any other occupation, is a continual dealing with the future; it is a continual calculation, an instinctive exercise in foresight.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow – Look not mournfully into the past, it comes not back again. Wisely improve the present, it is thine. Go forth to meet the shadowy future without fear and with a manly heart.
Henry Ward Beecher – We steal if we touch tomorrow. It is God’s.
Heraclitus – The only thing constant is change
Herbert Hoover – While the crash only took place six months ago, I am convinced we have now passed the worst, and with continued unity of effort, we shall rapidly recover.

Herbert Spencer – The wise man must remember that while he is a descendant of the past, he is a parent of the future.
Herman Kahn – Projecting a persuasive image of a desirable and practical future is extremely important to high morale, to dynamism, to consensus, and in general to help the wheels of society turn smoothly.
Hideo Kojima – I believe that even today we can only tell a simple story without really interfering with gameplay. But in the future, I think it will almost be a requirement of all storytellers when they create games, how they can tell a more complex story without conflicting with the gameplay.
Hillary Clinton – I’m the granddaughter of a factory worker from Scranton, Pennsylvania. He went to work in the same lace mill every day for 50 years. He believed he passed it down to my dad, who passed it down to me, that if he did what he was supposed to do, he’d have a good life and his kids would have an even better life. That is the American dream. That is what we believe in, that’s what we’ve got to keep going generation after generation.
Hillary Clinton – The worst thing that can happen in a democracy – as well as in an individual’s life – is to become cynical about the future and lose hope.
Honore de Balzac – A mother’s happiness is like a beacon, lighting up the future but reflected also on the past in the guise of fond memories.
Horace – Cease to inquire what the future has in store, and take as a gift whatever the day brings forth.
Howard Schultz – I believe life is a series of near misses. A lot of what we ascribe to luck is not luck at all. It’s seizing the day and accepting responsibility for your future. It’s seeing what other people don’t see And pursuing that vision.
Hubert H. Humphrey – For the first time in the history of mankind, one generation literally has the power to destroy the past, the present and the future, the power to bring time to an end.
Hugh Hefner – Living in the moment, thinking about the future, and staying connected to the past: That’s what makes me feel whole.
Hun Sen – Cambodia possesses now the rights to look far into the future and everything for making a future construction is waiting for the Cambodian own efforts.

Iain Sinclair – To try to fix the future is a manifest absurdity.
Ian Ziering – Past success is no guarantee of future success, so I have learned to be an entrepreneur. I began to produce and direct my own projects.
Ichiro Suzuki – Nobody knows what the future holds.
Ida Tarbell – Imagination is the only key to the future. Without it none exists – with it all things are possible.
Indra Nooyi – As a leader, I am tough on myself and I raise the standard for everybody; however, I am very caring because I want people to excel at what they are doing so that they can aspire to be me in the future.
Isaac Asimov – Although we will hate and fight the machines, we will be supplanted anyway, and rightly so, for the intelligent machines to which we will give birth may, better than we, carry on the striving toward the goal of understanding and using the Universe, climbing to heights we ourselves could never aspire to.
Isaac Asimov – Humanity has the stars in its future, and that future is too important to be lost under the burden of juvenile folly and ignorant superstition.
Isabel Allende – I think the spirit survives when we die, and nothing is wasted in nature and just as our material body disintegrates and becomes something else in the soil. The spirit becomes something else, reunites with a spiritual force that is out there in the universe. Not as individuals but as part of this spirituality.
Isabelle Kocher – Momentum is building for the creation of a shared future, one that is more egalitarian, inclusive, and respectful of the environment – a future that ultimately offers greater possibilities for personal development and control over our individual lives.
Ivan Turgenev – The word tomorrow was invented for indecisive people and for children.

J. G. Ballard – I came to live in Shepperton in 1960. I thought: the future isn’t in the metropolitan areas of London. I want to go out to the new suburbs, near the film studios. This was the England I wanted to write about, because this was the new world that was emerging.
J. G. Ballard – Orwell’s ‘1984’ convinced me, rightly or wrongly, that Marxism was only a quantum leap away from tyranny. By contrast, Huxley’s ‘Brave New World’ suggested that the totalitarian systems of the future might be subservient and ingratiating.
J. G. Ballard – The future is going to be boring. The suburbanisation of the planet will continue, and the suburbanisation of the soul will follow soon after.
J. Robert Oppenheimer – The atomic bomb made the prospect of future war unendurable. It has led us up those last few steps to the mountain pass; and beyond there is a different country.
Jack Horner – Right now people are interested in genetic engineering to help the human race. That’s a noble cause, and that’s where we should be heading. But once we get past that – once we understand what genetic diseases we can deal with – when we start thinking about the future, there’s an opportunity to create some new life-forms.
Jack Lew – We cannot win the future, expand the economy and spur job creation if we are saddled with increasingly growing deficits. That is why the president’s budget is a comprehensive and responsible plan that will put us on a path toward fiscal sustainability in the next few years – a down payment toward tackling our challenges in the long term.
Jack Ma – If you’re doing business, not that simple to only buy. You have to create something. You have to create something that never exist for the future.
Jack Welch – Control your own destiny or someone else will.
Jackie Mason – Predictions are preposterous.
Jacob Rees-Mogg – I’m not interested in the past, I’m interested in the future.
Jacob Rothschild – Unilever, Nestle and SAB Miller are all taking a long-term approach to investing in sustainable resource consumption. Each is driving through better resource management, which is expected to yield positive returns in the future.
Jacque Fresco – In order to design a future of positive change, we must first become expert at changing our minds.
Jacque Fresco – The future is fluid. Each act, each decision, and each development creates new possibilities and eliminates others. The future is ours to direct.
Jacque Fresco – While we cannot predict the future, we will most surely live it. Every action and decision we take – or don’t – ripples into the future. For the first time, we have the capability, the technology, and the knowledge to direct those ripples.
Jacques Yves Cousteau – I believe that national sovereignties will shrink in the face of universal interdependence.
Jacques Yves Cousteau – If we go on the way we have, the fault is our greed and if we are not willing to change, we will disappear from the face of the globe, to be replaced by the insect.
Jacques Yves Cousteau – If we were logical, the future would be bleak, indeed. But we are more than logical. We are human beings, and we have faith, and we have hope, and we can work.
Jacques Yves Cousteau – People protect what they love.
Jacques Yves Cousteau – The future is in the hands of those who explore… and from all the beauty they discover while crossing perpetually receding frontiers, they develop for nature and for humankind an infinite love.
Jacques Yves Cousteau – The real cure for our environmental problems is to understand that our job is to salvage Mother Nature. We are facing a formidable enemy in this field. It is the hunters… and to convince them to leave their guns on the wall is going to be very difficult.
Jacques Yves Cousteau – The road to the future leads us smack into the wall. We simply ricochet off the alternatives that destiny offers. Our survival is no more than a question of 25, 50 or perhaps 100 years.
Jacques Yves Cousteau – The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever.
Jacques Yves Cousteau – We must plant the sea and herd its animals using the sea as farmers instead of hunters. That is what civilization is all about – farming replacing hunting.
James Baldwin – There is never time in the future in which we will work out our salvation. The challenge is in the moment; the time is always now.
James Broughton – Everything that ever happened is still happening. Past, present and future keep happening in the eternity which is Here and Now.
James Buchan – For 50 years, nuclear power stations have produced three products which only a lunatic could want: bomb-explosive plutonium, lethal radioactive waste and electricity so dear it has to be heavily subsidised. They leave to future generations the task, and most of the cost, of making safe sites that have been polluted half-way to eternity.
James Dobson – Children are not casual guests in our home. They have been loaned to us temporarily for the purpose of loving them and instilling a foundation of values on which their future lives will be built.
James Joyce – I am tomorrow, or some future day, what I establish today. I am today what I established yesterday or some previous day.
James May – If it were possible – and I hope it will be some day – I’d like some sort of anti-gravity travel capsule: some way to travel around without the need for jets and wings and so on.
James Meredith – Nothing is a bigger waste of time than regretting the past and worrying about the future.
James Theodore Bent – The most terrible things end, at last.
James Thurber – The past is an old armchair in the attic, the present an ominous ticking sound, and the future is anybody’s guess.
James Woods – I think the iPhone was as significant an invention as the Gutenburg press, in terms of the future of humanity.
Jan C. Ting – Technology and robotics are advancing and will reduce the need for workers in the future.
Jane Addams – America’s future will be determined by the home and the school. The child becomes largely what he is taught; hence we must watch what we teach, and how we live.
Jane Fonda – It’s about time we make the well-being of our young people more important than ideology and politics. As a country, we benefit from investing in their future by investing in teen pregnancy prevention.
Janet Yellen – The future path of the federal funds rate is necessarily uncertain because economic activity and inflation will likely evolve in unexpected ways. For example, no one can be certain about the pace at which economic headwinds will fade. More generally, the economy will inevitably be buffeted by shocks that cannot be foreseen.
Janice Dickinson – The past explains how I got here, but the future is up to me – and I love to live life at full throttle.
Jay Inslee – Climate change is a matter of great peril but also one of great promise. We can pioneer the industries of the future, create millions of good-paying jobs, and build the clean energy economy of the future.
Jay Inslee – Renewable energy also creates more jobs than other sources of energy – most of these will be created in the struggling manufacturing sector, which will pioneer the new energy future by investment that allows manufacturers to retool and adopt new technologies and methods.
Jay Samit – As every entrepreneur and investor sifts through year-end data to predict the next trend or opportunity for financial success, there is a much easier way to accurately predict the future: hang out with those who are creating it.
Jay Weatherill – I believe that investing in our children’s development from the earliest age is the single most important contribution we can make to the health and wellbeing of our citizens, their capacity and the future prosperity of our state.
Jay-Z – I don’t know where streaming will go in the future. The analytics that we’re seeing tell us that streaming is the next thing, and downloads are going down. I feel like with the history of this platform, from vinyl to where we are now, it just seems like the next logical step.
Jean de La Fontaine – A person often meets his destiny on the road he took to avoid it.
Jean Racine – And forever goodbye! Forever! Oh, Sir, can you imagine how dreadful this cruel word sounds when one loves?
Jeanne Shaheen – United States forces have always relied on local allies to accomplish military and diplomatic missions and will need this support in the future.
Jeff Bezos – I don’t know all the future steps, but I know one of them: we need to build a low-cost, highly operable, reusable launch vehicle. No matter which path we take, it has to include that gate, and so that’s why that’s Blue Origin’s mission.
Jeff Bezos – If you think about the long term then you can really make good life decisions that you won’t regret later.
Jeff Bezos – Of course humans like to explore, and we should. There’s nothing wrong with that. But it’s more than that. It’s essential for your children and your children’s children.
Jeff Bezos – What we need to do is always lean into the future; when the world changes around you and when it changes against you – what used to be a tail wind is now a head wind – you have to lean into that and figure out what to do because complaining isn’t a strategy.
Jeff Rich – The one thing we know about the future is that it comes only one day at a time.
Jeremy Hunt – They say that what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger and I’ve learnt a great deal, but you can never predict the future, so the best thing is just to do whatever you’re asked to do to the best of your ability.
Jim Bishop – It is difficult to live in the present, ridiculous to live in the future and impossible to live in the past. Nothing is as far away as one minute ago.
Jim Bishop – The future is an opaque mirror. Anyone who tries to look into it sees nothing but the dim outlines of an old and worried face.
Jim Cymbala – No matter what I preach or what we claim to believe in our heads, the future will depend upon our times of prayer.
Jim Inhofe – Solar energy is bound to be in our future. There’s a kind of inevitability about it.
Jim Morrison – The future is uncertain but the end is always near.
Jim Rohn – Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present.
Jim Rohn – Let others lead small lives, but not you. Let others argue over small things, but not you. Let others cry over small hurts, but not you. Let others leave their future in someone else’s hands, but not you.
Jimmy Lai – Though I was very poor, I smelled the air of freedom and was full of hope for the future. That’s the way I thought heaven is.
Jimmy Page – You get a chance like that maybe once in your lifetime, and you are lucky to sustain it over that period of time. It doesn’t mean to say that whatever I do in the future has no substance to it.
Jo Nesbo – Not even the brightest future can make up for the fact that no roads lead back to what came before – to the innocence of childhood or the first time we fell in love.
Joe Baca – Pearl Harbor caused our Nation to wholeheartedly commit to winning World War II, changing the course of our Nation’s history and the world’s future.
Joe Biden – Our future cannot depend on the government alone. The ultimate solutions lie in the attitudes and the actions of the American people.
Joe Craft – With a proven track record as a reliable, low cost producer able to meet the needs of our customers with a diversity of operations, coal qualities and transportation options, we believe we can continue our record-setting performance in the future…
Joe Kaeser – An increased push for energy efficiency, renewable energy technology, electric mobility – along with the growing digitalization movement and a universal carbon pricing structure – would speed up the carbon-free future and the rise of a global middle class we desperately need. We can and must all do our part.
Joe Kaeser – Often, sustainability is discussed only in the context of energy. Energy sustainability is essential – but the word has a much broader meaning. It means long-term thinking about how we manage our businesses, invest in social spending, and plan for the future. This requires vision and leadership, and it requires citizen engagement.
Joe Strummer – The future is unwritten.
Joe Wicks – Don’t look too far into the future, just look at tomorrow. One day at a time. Can you win tomorrow? Can you make progress? The answer is yes, you have a choice and tomorrow you’re going to win.
Joel A. Barker – The ultimate function of prophecy is not to tell the future, but to make it. Your successful past will block your visions of the future.
Joel Osteen – God wants us to prosper financially, to have plenty of money, to fulfill the destiny He has laid out for us.
Joel Osteen – See, when you drive home today, you’ve got a big windshield on the front of your car. And you’ve got a little bitty rearview mirror. And the reason the windshield is so large and the rearview mirror is so small is because what’s happened in your past is not near as important as what’s in your future.
Johan Rockstrom – Global sustainability is now the only avenue to future inclusive progress that can deliver the Sustainable Development Goals…
Johann Rupert – It is not just disposable income but whether people feel good about their immediate future that drives sales. It is this feel-good factor that drives the purchases more and more than mere economic wealth.
John Berger – Without ethics, man has no future. This is to say, mankind without them cannot be itself. Ethics determine choices and actions and suggest difficult priorities.
John C. Stennis – I do believe the most important thing I can do now is to help young people understand the past and prepare for the future.
John Carmack – Obviously, virtual reality is where I’ve placed my bet about the future and where the excitement is going. At this point, I could say it’s almost a lock. It’s going to be magical – it is magical – and great things are coming from that. Along the way, I was focused on the first-person shooters. I said we should go do something on mobile.
John Carmack – The cost of adding a feature isn’t just the time it takes to code it. The cost also includes the addition of an obstacle to future expansion. The trick is to pick the features that don’t fight each other.
John Delaney – Do I think it is good policy for the government to own companies? Normally, I’d say ‘no.’ But in my world, if a firm puts itself in a position that it needs a last minute rescue, and the future is uncertain at best, then the investor who steps into that breach ends up owning the company. Full stop.
John Desmond Bernal – There are two futures, the future of desire and the future of fate, and man’s reason has never learned to separate them.
John Dewey – Education, therefore, is a process of living and not a preparation for future living.

John F. Kennedy – For time and the world do not stand still. Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or the present are certain to miss the future.
John F. Kennedy – History is a relentless master. It has no present, only the past rushing into the future. To try to hold fast is to be swept aside.
John F. Kennedy – I look forward to a great future for America – a future in which our country will match its military strength with our moral restraint, its wealth with our wisdom, its power with our purpose.
John F. Kennedy – Let us not seek the Republican answer or the Democratic answer, but the right answer. Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past. Let us accept our own responsibility for the future.
John F. Kennedy – Now is the time…for this nation to take a clearly leading role in space achievement, which in many ways may hold the key to our future on Earth.
John F. Kennedy – Our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children’s future. And we are all mortal.
John F. Kennedy – We are not here to curse the darkness, but to light the candle that can guide us thru that darkness to a safe and sane future.
John Kerry – Our future is not in competing at the low-level wage job; it is in creating high-wage, new technology jobs based on our skills and our productivity.
John Galsworthy – If you do not think about your future, you cannot have one.
John Galsworthy – Religion was nearly dead because there was no longer real belief in future life; but something was struggling to take its place – service – social service – the ants creed, the bees creed.
John Green – Endlessness is a really strange idea in a universe that is defined by its endings.
John Grisham – And that’s the mission of The Innocence Project in New York, is to exonerate people who have been wrongfully convicted, and also work from a policy angle with Congress and state legislatures to prevent future wrongful convictions.
John Hoeven – On Earth Day, we celebrate all the gifts the world and nature make available to us. We recognize our complete dependence on its bounty. And we acknowledge the need for good stewardship to preserve its fruits for future generations.
John Holt – Since we can’t know what knowledge will be most needed in the future, it is senseless to try to teach it in advance. Instead, we should try to turn out people who love learning so much and learn so well that they will be able to learn whatever needs to be learned.
John Kasich – If we intend to provide a better life, and a better world, for future generations, we can’t ignore the quality of the environment we leave them.
John L. Flannery – I see a big, promising future for India’s manufacturing and supply chain part of our company.
John L. Lewis – Let the workers organize. Let the toilers assemble. Let their crystallized voice proclaim their injustices and demand their privileges. Let all thoughtful citizens sustain them, for the future of Labor is the future of America.
John Landgraf – Who owns the future? This is the question at the heart of every stock market.
John Leonard – Isn’t it amazing the way the future succeeds in creating an appropriate past?
John Lewis – I’m very hopeful. I am very optimistic about the future.
John Lydon – Listen, you know this: If there’s not a rebellious youth culture, there’s no culture at all. It’s absolutely essential. It is the future. This is what we’re supposed to do as a species, is advance ideas.
John M. Ford – The cynical part of the answer is that I expect to see a good deal more space opera, set far enough in the future as to be disconnected from contemporary issues.
John M. Grunsfeld – I believe that the future of humans, and the future of Earth, depends on space exploration. That’s not a French problem, or a problem for Alabama: it’s a planet-wide problem. International cooperation is crucial.
John Maynard Keynes – The importance of money flows from it being a link between the present and the future.
John Moody – People began to understand that with the acquisition of California the nation had obtained practically half a continent, of which the future possibilities were almost unlimited, so far as the development of natural resources and the genera production of wealth were concerned.
John Naisbitt – In a world that is constantly changing, there is no one subject or set of subjects that will serve you for the foreseeable future, let alone for the rest of your life. The most important skill to acquire now is learning how to learn.
John Naisbitt – The most reliable way to forecast the future is to try to understand the present.
John Niven – I love my children and care greatly for their future. If they decide they just want to loaf around for a bit between the ages of 16 and 25, that’s perfectly fine by me. I did it, and I’m doing fine, thanks. Sometimes ‘leaving kids to their own devices’ is the best thing for them.
John Oldham – And all your future lies beneath your hat.
John P. Kotter – Leaders establish the vision for the future and set the strategy for getting there.
John Piper – Darkness comes. In the middle of it, the future looks blank. The temptation to quit is huge. Don’t. You are in good company… You will argue with yourself that there is no way forward. But with God, nothing is impossible. He has more ropes and ladders and tunnels out of pits than you can conceive. Wait. Pray without ceasing. Hope.
John Rampton – Living a frugal lifestyle gives you the opportunity to invest more money towards your future.
John Sculley – The future belongs to those who see possibilities before they become obvious.
John Sentamu – The Gospel offers forgiveness for the past, new life for the present, and hope for the future.
John Shelby Spong – If you begin to give people hope that there is a brighter future, there is a new tomorrow, then the people who were yesterday’s terrorists become tomorrow’s elected officials and they’re part of the system.
John Sladek – The future, according to some scientists, will be exactly like the past, only far more expensive.
John T. Chambers – By exciting citizens about the new digital opportunity, breaking down silos of competing groups to form a truly open innovation ecosystem and shifting day-to-day resources to focus on big long-term investments for the future, countries can ensure that they break through and bridge the digital gap.
John Travolta – I don’t believe in regrets; I believe your future is in your tomorrows.
John Wooden – I think the teaching profession contributes more to the future of our society than any other single profession.
Johnny Mathis – I don’t think about the future. It sort of will take care of itself; there’s not really much that I can do other than fundamental things like taking care of my voice, keeping to my exercise routine, and getting some rest.
Jon Bon Jovi – Map out your future – but do it in pencil. The road ahead is as long as you make it. Make it worth the trip.
Jorge Luis Borges – Time forks perpetually toward innumerable futures.
Jorgen Vig Knudstorp – There’s the famous quote that if you want to understand how animals live, you don’t go to the zoo, you go to the jungle. The Future Lab has really pioneered that within Lego, and it hasn’t been a theoretical exercise. It’s been a real design-thinking approach to innovation, which we’ve learned an awful lot from.
Jose Andres – I’m always looking to the future and what will next be on the horizon.
Jose Marti – The vote is a trust more delicate than any other, for it involves not just the interests of the voter, but his life, honor and future as well.
Jose Ortega y Gasset – Life is a series of collisions with the future; it is not the sum of what we have been, but what we yearn to be.
Jose Rizal – The youth is the hope of our future.
Joseph Brodsky – To put it mildly, nothing can be turned and worn inside out with greater ease than one’s notion of social justice, public conscience, a better future, etc.
Joseph Joubert – We must respect the past, and mistrust the present, if we wish to provide for the safety of the future.
Joseph Plaskett – All that is happening in art is part of a process of exploration and discovery. I hope to live for a few more years so that I can catch glimpses of the oncoming future.
Joseph Pulitzer – The power to mould the future of the Republic will be in the hands of the journalists of future generations.
Josh Gordon – I believe that my future is bright.
Josh McDowell – No matter how devastating our struggles, disappointments, and troubles are, they are only temporary. No matter what happens to you, no matter the depth of tragedy or pain you face, no matter how death stalks you and your loved ones, the Resurrection promises you a future of immeasurable good.
Joshua Chamberlain – The power of noble deeds is to be preserved and passed on to the future.
Joshua Chamberlain – We know not of the future and cannot plan for it much.
Joshua Wong – In a world where ideas and ideals flow freely, we want what everybody else in an advanced society seems to have: a say in our future.
Joss Whedon – My visions of the future are always pretty much standard issue. The rich get richer, the poor get poorer and there are flying cars.
Joyce Meyer – I can’t do anything about my past, but I can do a lot to cooperate with my destiny.
Joyce Meyer – No matter what has happened to you in the past or what is going on in your life right now, it has no power to keep you from having an amazingly good future if you will walk by faith in God. God loves you! He wants you to live with victory over sin so you can possess His promises for your life today!
Juan Manuel Santos – Anybody who doesn’t see the impact of climate change is really, I would say, myopic. They don’t see the reality. It’s so evident that we are destroying Mother Earth. This is not the problem of one country or a few countries: it is the problem of mankind. We need to work together to stop this. Otherwise, our future generations will simply disappear.
Juhi Chawla – The future will take care of itself. My plans have fallen flat. Nothing that I planned has worked for me so far. So I don’t plan anymore. I keep short-term plans.
Jules Verne – When the mind once allows a doubt to gain entrance, the value of deeds performed grow less, their character changes, we forget the past and dread the future.
Julia Gillard – Our future growth relies on competitiveness and innovation, skills and productivity… and these in turn rely on the education of our people.
Julia Ward Howe – I know not why there is such a melancholy feeling attached to the remembrance of past happiness, except that we fear that the future can have nothing so bright as the past.
Julien Benda – I shall go further and say that even if an examination of the past could lead to any valid prediction concerning man’s future, that prediction would be the contrary of reassuring.
Jurgen Klopp – It needs time. Nobody wants to hear it, but that’s the truth: if you want to have success in the future, you have to be ready to work now.
Jurgen Klopp – The challenge is to stay cool enough to handle the pressure in the moment so that you can succeed in the future.
Justin Bieber – I got a bright future ahead of me.
Justine Skye – No one can predict the future, but what I do know is that myself and my team work hard every day to make sure that my vision, my sound, and my brand reach their full potential.

Kailash Satyarthi – Every child matters. If we fail our children, we are bound to fail our present, our future, faith, cultures, and civilisations as well.
Kailash Satyarthi – The power of youth is the common wealth for the entire world. The faces of young people are the faces of our past, our present and our future. No segment in the society can match with the power, idealism, enthusiasm and courage of the young people.
Kanye West – I don’t think people are going to talk in the future. They’re going to communicate through eye contact, body language, emojis, signs.

Karl Rahner – The Christian of the future will be a mystic or he will not exist at all.
Katy Perry – I’m happy, I’m in a good place, I’m looking forward to my future.
Katy Perry – People always ask me, ‘What is it that you regret?’ And I say, ‘nothing, because I could not buy what I’ve learned.’ And I apply those things to my life I learn. And hopefully, hopefully it helps me to be a better human in the future and make better choices.
Kemba Walker – The future is something I’m looking forward to.

Ken Salazar – I think the future for solar energy is bright.
Kenneth C. Griffin – In our first decade, I interviewed about five thousand people in pursuit of the talent that would create our future. As our success grew, we became known across the four corners of finance not just for our outstanding returns, but also for our outstanding people.
Kevin Owens – I enjoy every second I get in the ring. But there’s a bigger picture now and a much bigger purpose to everything, and it’s to take care of my kids and my wife and make sure they have a good future.
Kgalema Motlanthe – Once it gets to a point where it becomes a matter of life and death to occupy a position of leadership or not, with an eye on future opportunities, therein lies the danger.

Kimbal Musk – We get emails from parents asking us what kale is because their kids are asking for it. That kind of extraordinary presence in the community is critical to the future of real food.

Kirsten Gillibrand – A bright future for the nation depends on the health and prosperity of rural America.
Kriti Sanon – Whatever you learn will never go waste. It will be beneficial for me in future.
Kurt Vonnegut – Bergeron’s epitaph for the planet, i remember, which he said should be carved in big letters in a wall of the grand canyon for the flying-saucer people to find was this: WE COULD HAVE SAVED IT, BUT WE WERE TOO DOGGONE CHEAP. only he didn’t say “doggone.”

Larry Page – Lots of companies don’t succeed over time. What do they fundamentally do wrong? They usually miss the future.
LaToya Jackson – I’ll never stop dreaming that one day we can be a real family, together, all of us laughing and talking, loving and understanding, not looking at the past but only to the future.
Lauren DeStefano – Most dystopian, classic and contemporary, paints a future world that puts a twist on present society – a future world that could plausibly happen.
Lauren Oliver – Dystopian novels help people process their fears about what the future might look like; further, they usually show that there is always hope, even in the bleakest future.
Laurie Graham – I have a magpie mind, by which I mean I see and hear little things – photos, fragments of conversation – and store them away for future use.
Lawrence M. Krauss – In 5 billion years, the expansion of the universe will have progressed to the point where all other galaxies will have receded beyond detection.
Leah Pipes – Whatever comes my way, I appreciate and do my best at, and if it were to fade someday, I guess I would find something else. But I just don’t plan the future, I guess.
Lech Walesa – As a nation we have the right to decide our own affairs, to mould our own future. This does not pose any danger to anybody. Our nation is fully aware of the responsibility for its own fate in the complicated situation of the contemporary world.
Lee Kun-hee – Samsung’s future hinges on new businesses, new products and new technologies. We should make our corporate culture more open, flexible and innovative.
Lee Min-ho – If I get married in the future, I want to have a relationship like friends with my other half. It’d be best if we can communicate often.
Leo Buscaglia – I believe that you control your destiny, that you can be what you want to be. You can also stop and say, ‘No, I won’t do it, I won’t behave this way anymore. I’m lonely and I need people around me, maybe I have to change my methods of behaving,’ and then you do it.
Leonard Bernstein – A liberal is a man or a woman or a child who looks forward to a better day, a more tranquil night, and a bright, infinite future.
Leonard Lauder – A visionary is someone who can see the future, or thinks he sees the future. In my case, I use it and it comes out right. That doesn’t come from daydreams or dreams, but it comes from knowing the market and knowing the world and knowing people really well and knowing where they’re going to be tomorrow.
Leopold Von Ranke – You have reckoned that history ought to judge the past and to instruct the contemporary world as to the future. The present attempt does not yield to that high office. It will merely tell how it really was.
Lewis B. Smedes – Forgiving does not erase the bitter past. A healed memory is not a deleted memory. Instead, forgiving what we cannot forget creates a new way to remember. We change the memory of our past into a hope for our future.
Lewis Black – The new millennium sucks! What a disappointment! What’s the difference between the old millennium and the new millennium? Nothing! It’s the same load of crap with a ‘2’ in the front. When I was a kid, I am old enough so that when I was a kid, I looked forward to the new millennium. When I was young, I said, ‘I’m gonna live through a change! A massive change! Things are gonna be different! Things are gonna be great!’ Screwed again! No flying cars! No flying cars!
Li Ka-shing – Vision is perhaps our greatest strength… it has kept us alive to the power and continuity of thought through the centuries, it makes us peer into the future and lends shape to the unknown.
Li Lu – Investing is about predicting the future, and the future is inherently unpredictable. Therefore, the only way you can do better is to assess all the facts and truly know what you know and know what you don’t know. That’s your probability edge.
Li Peng – I am firmly convinced that, in future years, China and India will join hands in playing a more active role in maintaining peace and stability in the region and the world at large and make due contribution to the cause of human progress and development.
Lil Wayne – Trying to tear down the past prohibits you from building up your future.
Lincoln Steffens – I have been over into the future, and it works.
Linda Lingle – But before looking to the future, let’s glance back at the road we’ve traveled these past two years because that is the source of much of the optimism we are all feeling about the future.
Lisa Su – Make sure there are lots of Harvard M.B.A.s working for MIT Ph.D.s in the future.
Liu Wen – A fun pair of earrings is basically the finishing touch to any outfit; a nice watch is both practical and decorative, while the perfect unique bag is not only eye-catching but also timeless – it can be passed on to future generations.
Liya Kebede – Investing in women’s lives is an investment in sustainable development, in human rights, in future generations – and consequently in our own long-term national interests.

Lord Byron – The best prophet of the future is the past.
Loretta Lynch – We all have a responsibility to protect endangered species, both for their sake and for the sake of our own future generations.
Lou Reed – I think life is far too short to concentrate on your past. I rather look into the future.
Louie Gohmert – I feel like God puts things in our lives to help prepare us for the future.
Louise J. Kaplan – Adolescence represents an inner emotional upheaval, a struggle between the eternal human wish to cling to the past and the equally powerful wish to get on with the future.
Louise J. Kaplan – When a child becomes an adult . . . the elders are fearful. And for good reason . . . not we but they are the germinators of future generations. Will they leave us behind as we did our parents? Consign us to neatly paved retirement villages? Trample us in the dust as they go flying out to their new galaxies? We had better tie them down, flagellate them, isolate them in the family cocoon, . . . indoctrinate them into the tribal laws and make sure they kneel before the power of the elders.
Louise L. Hay – Every thought we think is creating our future.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca – The mind that is anxious about the future is miserable.
Lucy Maud Montgomery – We should regret our mistakes and learn from them, but never carry them forward into the future with us.
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe – Technology is rooted in the past. It dominates the present and tends into the future. It is a real historical movement – one of the great movements which shape and represent their epoch.
Lyndon B. Johnson – If future generations are to remember us more with gratitude than sorrow, we must achieve more than just the miracles of technology. We must also leave them a glimpse of the world as it was created, not just as it looked when we got through with it.

M. S. Swaminathan – The future of food security will depend on a combination of the ecological prudence of the past and the technological advances of today.
M. Shadows – The reality is you either step into the future, or you become a dinosaur.
Madeleine Albright – We are the indispensable nation. We stand tall. We see further into the future.
Madeleine M. Kunin – Politics creates an almost endless time horizon into the future. … As governor I had the incredible luxury of being able to dream on a grand scale. And this sense of infinite possibility gives politics its romance.
Madonna Ciccone – I didn’t have many friends; I might not have had any friends. But it all turned out good in the end, because when you aren’t popular and you don’t have a social life, it gives you more time to focus on your future.
Mahatma Gandhi – I do not want to foresee the future. I am concerned with taking care of the present. God has given me no control over the moment following.
Mahatma Gandhi – Partition is bad. But whatever is past is past. We have only to look to the future.
Malala Yousafzai – If you don’t focus on the future generation, it means you are destroying your country.
Malala Yousafzai – Let us make our future now, and let us make our dreams tomorrow’s reality.
Malcolm X – Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today.
Malcolm X – The future belongs to those who prepare for it today.
Marc Randolph – Most legacy companies get crushed – they get Blockbustered – because they are too afraid to walk away from the status quo, to embrace what the future is.
Marci Shimoff – I’ve come to see that I have two choices in how I approach change: I can either resist change or be open to what’s ahead and feel the peace that “all is well in the universe.” When I lean into the latter, I feel excited about the future.
Marco Rubio – A party organized around a set of principles, ideals and ideas for our future.
Marcus Aurelius – Here is the rule to remember in the future, When anything tempts you to be bitter: not, ‘This is a misfortune’ but ‘To bear this worthily is good fortune.’
Marcus Aurelius – Look back over the past, with its changing empires that rose and fell, and you can foresee the future, too.
Marcus Aurelius – Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present.
Marcus Tullius Cicero – For if that last day does not occasion an entire extinction, but a change of abode only, what can be more desirable? And if it, on the other hand, destroys and absolutely puts an end to us, what can be preferable to having a deep sleep fall on us in the midst of the fatigues of life and, being thus overtaken, to sleep to eternity?
Margot Robbie – Probably not for about 10 years, because I’ve got so much to do before then…
Maria Konnikova – Stories bring us together. We can talk about them and bond over them. They are shared knowledge, shared legend, and shared history; often, they shape our shared future.
Maria Montessori – If education is always to be conceived along the same antiquated lines of a mere transmission of knowledge, there is little to be hoped from it in the bettering of man’s future. For what is the use of transmitting knowledge if the individual’s total development lags behind?
Marian Wright Edelman – The future which we hold in trust for our own children will be shaped by our fairness to other people’s children.
Marilyn Ferguson – Your past is not your potential. In any hour you can choose to liberate the future.
Marina Abramovic – We always project into the future or reflect in the past, but we are so little in the present.
Mario Cuomo – We still believe in this nation’s future.
Marion Zimmer Bradley – Science fiction encourages us to explore… all the futures, good and bad, that the human mind can envision.
Mark Cuban – I grew up in a working class family. People thought I might go work at a mill. My mom wanted me to learn how to lay carpet because she was concerned about my future. Nobody had high hopes for me. But I was a hustler.
Mark Cuban – I love entrepreneurship because that’s what makes this country grow, and if I can help companies grow, I am creating jobs; I am setting foundations for future generations. It sends the message that the American Dream is alive and well.
Mark Cuban – Leaders don’t look backwards to condemn what has already been done; they look forward to create a better future.
Mark Cuban – Your customers can tell you the things that are broken and how they want to be made happy. Listen to them. Make them happy. But don’t rely on them to create the future road map for your product or service. That’s your job.
Mark Parker – In difficult times, it’s important to speak up. We cannot change the past, but we can impact the future.
Mark Strand – The future is always beginning now.
Mark Victor Hansen – You control your future, your destiny. What you think about comes about. By recording your dreams and goals on paper, you set in motion the process of becoming the person you most want to be. Put your future in good hands – your own.
Mark Zuckerberg – There is a huge need and a huge opportunity to get everyone in the world connected, to give everyone a voice and to help transform society for the future. The scale of the technology and infrastructure that must be built is unprecedented, and we believe this is the most important problem we can focus on.
Marshall McLuhan – We drive into the future using only our rearview mirror.
Martellus Bennett – I think coding is gonna become the blue collar work of the future.
Martin Jacques Always beware your moment of triumphalism: such emotions are a poor steer on the future.
Martin Luther King, Jr. – If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.
Martin Rees – Cosmology does, I think, affect the way that we perceive humanity’s role in nature. One thing we’ve learnt from astronomy is that the future lying ahead is more prolonged than the past. Even our sun is less than halfway through its life.
Martin Sheen – Future generations are not going to ask us what political party were you in. They are going to ask what did you do about it, when you knew the glaciers were melting.
Marty Stuart – A future without roots is like a kite with no string.
Mary Heath – In the history of the conquest of the air the page of women‘s achievement is a great one. The woman of today is something more than a wife to her husband. She is his friend, his companion, his playmate, and more often than not his business partner. The true development of the air sense of mankind depends just as much on the women as on the men. We cannot advance with a united front into the position of leadership in this new world that is ours by right, unless the women will support and help men as they have always done in the past. Since the beginning of human flight women have stood by men not alone in actual flying, but in the development of aeronautics generally.
Mary Pilon – Virtual reality has an exciting future and oodles of room to grow.
Marya Mannes – The earth we abuse and the living things we kill will, in the end, take their revenge; for in exploiting their presence we are diminishing our future.
Matt Blunt – Public education is an investment in our future.
Matt Emmons – Failure and things of this sort – you can take it one of two ways. You can either let that hurt you and really affect the way that you live your life in the future, or you can use that as an opportunity for growth.
Matt Groening – The scary thing about the future… there will be tiny cameras everywhere, and they’ll be flying around like mosquitoes and drones. That will be bad. Drones are scary. You can’t reason with a drone.
Matthew Hussey – Women can be made to feel like that makes them seem ‘too demanding,’ but it’s better than wasting time on someone who isn’t planning any future with you.
Mattie Stepanek – Keep all special thoughts and memories for lifetimes to come. Share these keepsakes with others to inspire hope and build from the past, which can bridge to the future.
Maurice Maeterlinck – At every crossroads on the path that leads to the future, tradition has placed 10,000 men to guard the past.
Max Nordau – By the end of the 20th Century there will be a generation to whom it will not be injurious to read a dozen quire of newspapers daily, to be constantly called to the telephone… and to live half their time in a railway carriage or in a flying machine.
Max Planck – We have no right to assume that any physical laws exist, or if they have existed up until now, that they will continue to exist in a similar manner in the future.
Max Tegmark – In 2056, I think you’ll be able to buy T-shirts on which are printed equations describing the unified laws of our universe.
Maxim Gorky – Only mothers can think of the future – because they give birth to it in their children.
Maya Angelou – Have enough courage to trust love one more time and always one more time.
Maya Angelou – Prejudice is a burden that confuses the past, threatens the future and renders the present inaccessible.
Mehmet Murat Ildan – Since many things we see were once an idea, let us create good ideas today because they will be the realities of tomorrow! When you create an idea, do not forget that you shape the future! Idea is your God side! With ideas, you can change the universe, but only with very great ideas!
Mercedes Schlapp – I know we can all remember the days of sitting in algebra class asking ourselves, ‘why will I need algebra or chemistry in the future?’ The answer was and still remains that advanced math and science classes help high school students develop their analytical and cognitive skills and better prepare them to compete in college and the workplace.
Mesut Ozil – My aim is helping kids. Kids are the future. I love children. I’m thinking of my own childhood. I know where I’m from. If I wanted something, I couldn’t get it. Life wasn’t easy.
Michael Bennet – To protect our country’s economic future and the health and well being of all Americans, we must find a way to rein in out-of-control costs, provide quality, affordable health care choices to all, and make outrageous insurance industry abuses a thing of the past.
Michael Caputo – With the Internet and blockchain, everything is changed. It’s the future of content.
Michael D. Higgins – I think the important thing now is to have a celebration and then with determination move into our common, shared, different future.
Michael Gove – I think that what we should have is computer science in the future – and how it fits in to the curriculum is something we need to be talking to scientists, to experts in coding and to young people about.
Michael Ian Black – There is no word for feeling nostalgic about the future, but that’s what a parent’s tears often are, a nostalgia for something that has not yet occurred. They are the pain of hope, the helplessness of hope, and finally, the surrender to hope.
Michael Jordan – I can’t speak for the future. I have no crystal ball.
Michael Mandelbaum – After all, the past is our only real guide to the future, and historical analogies are instruments for distilling and organizing the past and converting it to a map by which we can navigate.
Michael Morpurgo – Access to books and the encouragement of the habit of reading: these two things are the first and most necessary steps in education and librarians, teachers and parents all over the country know it. It is our children’s right and it is also our best hope and their best hope for the future.
Michael N. Castle – Ensuring a bright future for all our children is the responsibility of the community, the schools, families and like it or not- politicians as well.
Michael P. Anderson – It looks like the future’s really bright.
Michelle Lujan Grisham – Higher education is a cornerstone of our state’s future.
Michelle Obama – If my future were determined just by my performance on a standardized test, I wouldn’t be here. I guarantee you that.
Michio Kaku – In the future, you’ll simply jump into your car, turn on the Internet, turn on a movie and sit back and relax and turn on the automatic pilot, and the car will drive itself.
Michio Kaku – Our grandkids will lead the lives of the gods of mythology. Zeus could think and move objects around. We’ll have that power. Venus had a perfect, timeless body. We’ll have that, too. Pegasus was a flying horse. We’ll be able to modify life in the future.
Michio Kaku – Technologies that may be realized in centuries or millennium include: warp drive, traveling faster than the speed of light, parallel universes; are there other parallel dimensions and parallel realities? Time travel that we mentioned and going to the stars.
Michio Kaku – The job market of the future will consist of those jobs that robots cannot perform. Our blue-collar work is pattern recognition, making sense of what you see. Gardeners will still have jobs because every garden is different. The same goes for construction workers. The losers are white-collar workers, low-level accountants, brokers, and agents.
Michio Kaku – Time travel and teleportation will have to wait. It may take centuries to master these technology. But within the coming decades, we will understand dark matter, perhaps test string theory, find planets which can harbor life, and maybe have Brain 2.0, i.e. our consciousness on a disk which will survive even after we die.
Mike Farrell – My dreams for the future are simple: work, a happy, healthy family, a lovely long motorcycle ride, and continuing the struggle to awaken people to the need for serious human rights reform.
Mike Huckabee – The most important thing about global warming is this. Whether humans are responsible for the bulk of climate change is going to be left to the scientists, but it’s all of our responsibility to leave this planet in better shape for the future generations than we found it.
Mike Murdock – The secret of your future is hidden in your daily routine.
Mike Quigley – Climate change is not just about carbon dioxide levels and melting polar ice caps. It is about our public health and protecting our Earth for future generations.
Mike Rounds – We can do things the cheap way, the simple way, for the short-term and without regard for the future. Or, we can make the extra effort, do the hard work, absorb the criticism and make decisions that will cause a better future.
Mike Rowe – I’m looking forward to the future, and feeling grateful for the past.

Mirai Nagasu – It’s easy to look into the future and worry about the past.
Miriam Makeba – Girls are the future mothers of our society, and it is important that we focus on their well-being.
Mitch Daniels – The failure of national economic policy is costing us more than jobs; it has begun to weaken that uniquely American spirit of risk-taking, large ambition, and optimism about the future. We must rally them now to bold departures that rebuild our national morale as well as our material prosperity.
Mitt Romney – Education is the investment our generation makes in the future.
Monique Roffey – Apart from writing books, my 40s have been about pursuing personal growth. Whatever were the mistakes of my earlier life, I’ve been committed to a pause, a regroup. I don’t want to make the same mistakes in the future.
Monty Don – When you plant something, you invest in a beautiful future amidst a stressful, chaotic and, at times, downright appalling world.
MS Dhoni – I live in the present with an eye on the future.
Muhammad Yunus – My vision for the future? Two things: to make credit a human right so that each individual human being will have the opportunity to take loans and implement his or her ideas so that self-exploration becomes possible. And second: that it will lead to a world where nobody has to suffer from poverty – a world completely free from poverty.
Mustafa Kemal Ataturk – The necessary thing for anyone to be happy and contented as long as he lives is working for the ones who will come after him rather than working for himself… One can reach the true delight and happiness in the life only by working for the existence, honor, and happiness of the future generations.

N. R. Narayana Murthy – The future of any corporation is as good as the value system of the leaders and followers in the organization.
N. T. Wright – I think future generations will say the late 20th century and the early 21st century was a time of great convulsions and upheavals.
Nadia Murad – I have the responsibility to translate peace and stability for future generations.
Nadia Murad – We must not only imagine a better future for women, children, and persecuted minorities; we must work consistently to make it happen – prioritizing humanity, not war.
Nam June Paik – The future is now.
Nancy Duarte – The future isn’t just a place you’ll go. It’s a place you will invent.
Naomi Campbell – Children are our future we must take care of them with maximum effort.
Narendra Modi – I don’t carry the burden of the past or the madness of the future. I live in the present.
Nassim Nicholas Taleb – We know from chaos theory that even if you had a perfect model of the world, you’d need infinite precision in order to predict future events. With sociopolitical or economic phenomena, we don’t have anything like that.
Nathan Myhrvold – Most estimates of the mortality risk posed by asteroid impacts put it at about the same risk as flying in a commercial airliner. However, you have to remember that this is like the entire human race riding the plane – it is one of the few risks that really could wipe us all out.
Nathan Myhrvold – Nobody wants a prediction that the future will be more or less like the present, even if that is, statistically speaking, an excellent prediction.
Neal Asher – If I could time travel into the future, my first port of call would be the point where medical technology is at its best because, like most people on this planet, I have this aversion to dying.
Neil deGrasse Tyson – Do you realize that if you fall into a black hole, you will see the entire future of the Universe unfold in front of you in a matter of moments and you will emerge into another space-time created by the singularity of the black hole you just fell into?
Neil deGrasse Tyson – Dreams about the future are always filled with gadgets.
Neil deGrasse Tyson – The trend lines in research and innovation look good for places such as India and China and less good for America as we go forward. So even if you’re not enchanted by the prospect of cosmic discovery, the prospect of dying poor may be what it takes to understand the role of this adventure in the future of the natural world in which we live.
Neil deGrasse Tyson – Trillions of years into the future, when all stars are gone…all parts of the cosmos will cool to the same temperature as the ever-cooling background. At that time, space travel will no longer provide refuge because even Hell will have frozen over. We may then declare that the universe has died-not with a bang, but with a whimper.
Neil deGrasse Tyson – You can’t have people making decisions about the future of the world who are scientifically illiterate. That’s a recipe for disaster. And I don’t mean just whether a politician is scientifically literate, but people who vote politicians into office.
Neil Turok – My experience in science has always been that the future always exceeds what we believe is possible. I suspect that we will explore the universe.
Nelson Mandela – Our human compassion binds us the one to the other – not in pity or patronizingly, but as human beings who have learnt how to turn our common suffering into hope for the future.
Neri Oxman – The future of design is a future where anything material in the environment – whether it’s wearables, cars, buildings – can be designed with this variation of properties and relationship with the environment that can take part in the natural ecology.
Newt Gingrich – We’re at the crossroads. Down one road is a European centralized bureaucratic socialist welfare system in which politicians and bureaucrats define the future. Down the other road is a proud, solid, reaffirmation of American exceptionalism.
Nick Cannon – Nobody can predict the future. You just have to give your all to the relationship you’re in and do your best to take care of your partner, communicate and give them every last drop of love you have. I think one of the most important things in a relationship is caring for your significant other through good times and bad.
Nick Carter – Live life to the fullest, for the future is scarce.
Nick Cummins – You never say never. There’s always a chance to do things in the future.
Nicole Kidman – I’m not sure what the future holds but I do know that I’m going to be positive and not wake up feeling desperate. As my dad said ‘Nic, it is what it is, it’s not what it should have been, not what it could have been, it is what it is.’
Niels Bohr – Prediction is very difficult, especially if it’s about the future.
Nigel Farage – If you take away people’s identity and their ability through the ballot box to determine their future, don’t be surprised if they turn to extremes or violence or anything else.
Niklaus Wirth – My duty as a teacher is to train, educate future programmers.
Nikola Tesla – Modern science says: ‘The sun is the past, the earth is the present, the moon is the future.’ From an incandescent mass we have originated, and into a frozen mass we shall turn. Merciless is the law of nature, and rapidly and irresistibly we are drawn to our doom.
Nikola Tesla – The scientific man does not aim at an immediate result. He does not expect that his advanced ideas will be readily taken up. His work is like that of the planter – for the future. His duty is to lay the foundation for those who are to come, and point the way.
Nina Easton – It’s become glib political conventional wisdom in Washington that a massive spending plan will provide a parachute rescue for a cliff-diving economy – landing it safely and with strong enough legs to move toward a healthy future.
Nolan Bushnell – I just want the future to happen faster. I can’t imagine the future without robots.
Norbert Wiener – Progress imposes not only new possibilities for the future but new restrictions.
Norman Foster – As an architect, you design for the present, with an awareness of the past, for a future which is essentially unknown.
Nostradamus – Because of the vulgar advent, I decided to give way and, by dark and cryptic sentences, tell of the causes of the future mutation of mankind; especially the most urgent ones, and the ones I perceived, and in a manner that would not upset their fragile sentiments.
Nostradamus – Sooner and later you will see great changes made, dreadful horrors and vengeances. For as the Moon is thus led by its angel, the heavens draw near to the Balance.

Og Mandino – Tomorrow is only found in the calendar of fools.
Olaf Carlson-Wee – When decentralized blockchain protocols start displacing the centralized web services that dominate the current Internet, we’ll start to see real internet-based sovereignty. The future Internet will be decentralized.
Oliver Stone – We have to hold onto the past as we explore the future.
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. – Wisdom is the abstract of the past, but beauty is the promise of the future.
Olivia Newton-John – You never know what the future holds, so I am just enjoying being happy, healthy, and having my wonderful husband by my side.
Oprah Winfrey – The greatest discovery of all time is that a person can change his future by merely changing his attitude.
Oprah Winfrey – When I look into the future, it’s so bright it burns my eyes.
Orville Wright – I cannot but believe that we stand at the beginning of a new era, the Age of Flight, and that the beginnings of to-day will be mightily overshadowed by the complete successes of to-morrow.
Os Guinness – Like a precious family heirloom, freedom is not just ours to enjoy, but to treasure, protect, and pass on to future generations.
Oscar Wilde – The only difference between the saint and the sinner is that every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future.
Owen D. Young – The man who can put himself in the place of other men, who can understand the workings of their minds, need never worry about what the future has in store for him.

Park Bo-gum – I am grateful for all the moments that I have, and I’m moving forward one step at a time to the future.
Pat Paulsen – As I’ve always said: The future lies ahead.
Patrick Bamford – We have to try to be positive now and look to the future and think positive things: then positive things will happen.
Patrick Henry – I know of no way of judging the future but by the past.
Paul Auster – I’m living in the present, thinking about the past, hoping for the future.
Paul Bloom – Our best hope for the future is not to get people to think of all humanity as family – that’s impossible. It lies, instead, in an appreciation of the fact that, even if we don’t empathize with distant strangers, their lives have the same value as the lives of those we love.
Paul Bowles – Because we don’t know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. Yet everything happens only a certain number of times, and a very small number really. How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, an afternoon that is so deeply a part of your being that you can’t even conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four or five times more, perhaps not even that. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps 20. And yet it all seems limitless.
Paul Hawken – Sustainability, ensuring the future of life on Earth, is an infinite game, the endless expression of generosity on behalf of all.
Paul Kagame – Our world faces difficult challenges, but no more so than in the past. Working together in a constructive spirit, we can assure our children the future they deserve.
Paul Kagame – We cannot turn the clock back nor can we undo the harm caused, but we have the power to determine the future and to ensure that what happened never happens again.
Paul Mooney – I can’t change the past, but one person can change the future – anything can happen.
Paul Polman – Looking at the world through a sustainability lens not only helps us ‘future proof’ our supply chain, it also fuels innovation and drives brand growth.
Paul Ryan – By failing seriously to confront the most predicable economic crisis in our nation’s history, the President’s policies are committing us and our children to a diminished future.
Paul Signac – The golden age has not passed; it lies in the future.
Paul Valery – The trouble with our times is that the future is not what it used to be.
Paul Wellstone – The future will belong to those who have passion and are willing to work hard to make our country better.
Paul Wesley – I would hope that, for me, regardless of what happens in my career in the future, I always want to maintain a level of humility. I think it’s so important to not lose yourself and to just understand that you’re a conduit.
Pauline Kael – I see little of more importance to the future of our country and of civilization than full recognition of the place of the artist. If art is to nourish the roots of our culture, society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him.
Pearl S. Buck – One faces the future with one’s past.
Peggy Noonan – Memo to future presidents: Never stake your entire survival on the painful passing of a bad bill. Never take the country down the road to ‘Demon Pass.’
Peggy Whitson – There is a potential to be a big explosion of what spaceflight is gonna mean to just an everyday person in the near future. I think it’s very hopeful for our young people: all the exciting things that they could be doing in the future relative to space and space exploration.
Percy Bysshe Shelley – Fear not for the future, weep not for the past.
Periander – Pleasures are transient, honors are immortal.
Pericles – What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others.
Pete Buttigieg – Greatness will come by looking forward – untethered from the politics of the past and anchored by our shared values – and by changing our nation’s future.
Pete Sampras – The future is flying home. That’s the immediate future. But long-distance future, I plan on being back. I’m not going to end my time here with that loss.
Peter Diamandis – I think that we’re living in a time where there are trillion-dollar opportunities that never existed before.
Peter Drucker – The best way to predict the future is to create it.
Peter Drucker – The only thing we know about the future is that it will be different.
Peter Drucker – Trying to predict the future is like trying to drive down a country road at night with no lights while looking out the back window.
Peter Hitchens – At every future election, there should be a slot, at the top of each ballot paper, in which we can put a cross against ‘None of the below.’
Peter Lindbergh – If photographers are responsible for creating or reflecting an image of women in society, then, I must say, there is only one way for the future, and this is to define women as strong and independent. This should be the responsibility of photographers today: to free women, and finally everyone, from the terror of youth and perfection.
Peter Lynch – I’ve found that when the market’s going down and you buy funds wisely, at some point in the future you will be happy. You won’t get there by reading ‘Now is the time to buy.’
Peter Singer – My own view is that being a vegetarian or vegan is not an end in itself, but a means towards reducing both human and animal suffering and leaving a habitable planet to future generations.
Peter Singer – Suppose I grant that pigs and dogs are self-aware to some degree, and do have thoughts about things in the future. That would provide some reason for thinking it intrinsically wrong to kill them – not absolutely wrong, but perhaps quite a serious wrong. Still, there are other animals – chickens maybe, or fish – who can feel pain but don’t have any self-awareness or capacity for thinking about the future. For those animals, you haven’t given me any reason why painless killing would be wrong, if other animals take their place and lead an equally good life.
Peter Thiel – From my perspective, I think the question of how we build a better future is an extremely important overarching question, and I think it’s become obscured from us because we no longer think it’s possible to have a meaningful conversation about the future.
Peter Thiel – The future is limitless.
Peter Thiel – The most successful businesses have an idea for the future that’s very different from the present – and that’s not fully valued.
Peter Ustinov – If the world should blow itself up, the last audible voice would be that of an expert saying it can’t be done.
Petra Kelly – If there is a future, it will be Green.
Petra Nemcova – Learn from the past, look to the future, but live in the present.
Philip Emeagwali – The hardships that I encountered in the past will help me succeed in the future.
Philip Johnson – The future of architecture is culture.
Pico Iyer – Where you come from now is much less important than where you’re going. More and more of us are rooted in the future or the present tense as much as in the past. And home, we know, is not just the place where you happen to be born. It’s the place where you become yourself.
Pierre Nanterme – I want our future leaders to know what’s possible and to be part of a world where diversity and gender equality aren’t special programs but the natural way of operating.
Plato – The direction in which education starts a man will determine his future in life.
Plutarch – To make no mistakes is not in the power of man; but from their errors and mistakes the wise and good learn wisdom for the future.
Pope Francis – We must restore hope to young people, help the old, be open to the future, spread love. Be poor among the poor. We need to include the excluded and preach peace.
Pope John Paul II – The future starts today, not tomorrow.
Pope John Paul II – What does our generation owe to generations yet unborn? …there is an order in the universe which must be respected, and… the human person, endowed with the capability of choosing freely, has a grave responsibility to preserve this order for the well-being of future generations.
Pranab Mukherjee – Let Jammu and Kashmir lead the way in the building of a new future for India. Let it set an example to the rest of India and the world by showing how the entire region can be transformed into a zone of peace, stability and prosperity.
Priti Patel – I believe we can look forward to a more prosperous, more secure, and brighter future…

Queen Rania of Jordan – When you deprive people of their right to live in dignity, to hope for a better future, to have control over their lives, when you deprive them of that choice, then you expect them to fight for these rights.

Ray Dalio – I think that the first thing is you should have a strategic asset allocation mix that assumes that you don’t know what the future is going to hold.

You can receive ordinances and covenants that when righteously lived assure true happiness and significant attainment.

Robert J. Shiller – We don’t know the probabilities of future events. Still, you have to take action, and so you do it on gut feeling. That’s the world we live in.
Robert Kennedy – It is not enough to understand, or to see clearly. The future will be shaped in the arena of human activity, by those willing to commit their minds and their bodies to the task.

Robert Kiyosaki – The best way to predict the future is to study the past, or prognosticate.
Robert Lanza – In fact when you combine stem cell technology with the technology known as tissue engineering you can actually grow up entire organs, so as you suggest that sometime in the future you get in an auto accident and lose your kidney, we’d simply take a few skin cells and grow you up a new kidney. In fact this has already been done.
Robert Lanza – Sometime in the future, science will be able to create realities that we can’t even begin to imagine. As we evolve, we’ll be able to construct other information systems that correspond to other realities, universes based on logic completely different from ours and not based on space and time.
Robert M. Pirsig – To live only for some future goal is shallow. It’s the sides of the mountain that sustain life, not the top.

Roh Moo-hyun – Let us make future generations remember us as proud ancestors just as, today, we remember our forefathers.
Rollo May – Depression is the inability to construct a future.

Romare Bearden – Every artist wants his work to be permanent. But what is? The Aswan Dam covered some of the greatest art in the world. Venice is sinking. Great books and pictures were lost in the Florence floods. In the meantime we still enjoy butterflies.

Scott Adams – Scientists will eventually stop flailing around with solar power and focus their efforts on harnessing the only truly unlimited source of energy on the planet: stupidity. I predict that in the future, scientists will learn how to convert stupidity into clean fuel.
Sendhil Mullainathan – If you have urgent current expenses to cover, then future priorities like college and retirement fall off your radar because they are simply less pressing. Scarcity of attention prevents us from seeing what’s really important. The psychology of scarcity engrosses us in only our present needs.

Sukarno – We are living in a world of fear. The life of man today is corroded and made bitter by fear: fear of the future, fear of the hydrogen bomb, fear of ideologies. Perhaps this fear is a greater danger than the danger itself because it is fear, which drives men to act thoughtlessly, to act dangerously.
Sun Yat-sen – It is my idea to make capitalism create socialism in China so that these two economic forces of human evolution will work side by side in future civilization.
Susan Collins – These are challenging times at home and around the world. We will have to work together in a bipartisan spirit and with our international partners if we are going to achieve progress and peace now and for future generations.
Susana Martinez – My parents taught me to never give up and to always believe that my future could be whatever I dreamt it to be.
Suzanne Collins – I think people respond to dystopian stories because they’re ways of acting out anxieties that we have and fears that we have about the future. So much media’s coming at you over the Internet, your brain gets overloaded. You don’t know what to do with it. And one thing you can do with it is read a story.

Victor Hugo – Each man should frame life so that at some future hour fact and his dreaming meet.
Victor Hugo – I believe, sir, in all the progress. Air navigation is the result of the oceanic navigation: from water the human has to pass in the air. Everywhere where creation will be breathable to him, the human will penetrate into the creation. Our only limit is life. There where ends the air column which prevents our machine to burst, the human has to stop. But he can, owes, and wants to go to there, and he will go. You can do it. I take the biggest interest in your useful and brave perpendicular journeys. You ingenious and fearless companion, Mr W. de Fontevielle, has as Mr. Victor Meunier the superior instinct of the true science. I would have the magnificent taste of the scientific adventure. Adventure in the fact, the hypothesis in the idea, here is the two big processes of discovery. Certainly, the future is for air navigation and the duty of the present is to work for the future. You are just now endorsing this duty. I, solitary person, but attentive, I am your eyes and I say to you: Courage!
