Cease to inquire what the future has in store and take as a gift whatever the day brings forth.

I don't try to describe the future. I try to prevent it.

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.

The reason people find it so hard to be happy is that they always see the past better than it was the present worse than it is and the future less resolved than it will be.

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.

Look back over the past with its changing empires that rose and fell and you can foresee the future too.

Prediction is very difficult especially if it's about the future.

The future belongs to those who prepare for it today.

Well the future for me is already a thing of the past.

Happy is the person who knows what to remember of the past what to enjoy in the present and what to plan for in the future.
