You can never plan the future by the past.
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.
Fear not for the future, weep not for the past.
Even though the future seems far away, it is actually beginning right now.
Every man has his own destiny: the only imperative is to follow it, to accept it, no matter where it leads him.
The future influences the present just as much as the past.
The future ain’t what it used to be.
I don’t try to describe the future. I try to prevent it.
Never make predictions, especially about the future.
Life is divided into three terms – that which was, which is, and which will be. Let us learn from the past to profit by the present, and from the present, to live better in the future.
Do your duty and a little more and the future will take care of itself.
The one thing we know about the future is that it comes only one day at a time.
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.
Cease to inquire what the future has in store, and take as a gift whatever the day brings forth.
Stop acting as if life is a rehearsal. Live this day as if it were your last. The past is over and gone. The future is not guaranteed.
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.
Destiny has two ways of crushing us – by refusing our wishes and by fulfilling them.
I know of no way of judging the future but by the past.
The past, the present and the future are really one: they are today.
Real generosity toward the future lies in giving all to the present.
There is nothing like a dream to create the future.
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.
Choose your friends with caution; plan your future with purpose, and frame your life with faith.
My interest is in the future because I am going to spend the rest of my life there.
If you do not think about your future, you cannot have one.
