Upper classes are a nation's past the middle class is its future.

The future rewards those who press on. I don't have time to feel sorry for myself. I don't have time to complain. I'm going to press on.

Elegance is not the prerogative of those who have just escaped from adolescence but of those who have already taken possession of their future.

The main goal of the future is to stop violence. The world is addicted to it.

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.

The past is a ghost the future a dream and all we ever have is now.

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.

I know of no way of judging the future but 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.

There's no present. There's only the immediate future and the recent past.
