I’m not a fortune-teller.

It’s a question of whether we’re going to go forward into the future, or past to the back.

So that’s the dissenter’s hope: that they are writing not for today but for tomorrow.

Doing what’s right isn’t the problem. It is knowing what’s right.

We are at the very beginning of time for the human race. It is not unreasonable that we grapple with problems. But there are tens of thousands of years in the future. Our responsibility is to do what we can, learn what we can, improve the solutions, and pass them on.

All that the future holds in store for each sacred child of God will be shaped by his or her parents, family, friends, and teachers. Thus, our faith now becomes part of our posterity’s faith later.

While I take inspiration from the past, like most Americans, I live for the future.

Real generosity toward the future lies in giving all to the present.

I think we have a duty to maintain the light of consciousness to make sure it continues into the future.

Each generation goes further than the generation preceding it because it stands on the shoulders of that generation. You will have opportunities beyond anything we’ve ever known.

I never think of the future – it comes soon enough.

No great deed is done by falterers who ask for certainty.

Earth might one day soon resemble the planet Venus.

This generation of Americans has a rendezvous with destiny.

Wouldn’t it be great if we could look forward to a whole world in which no child will be left behind?

People respond when you tell them there is a great future in front of you, you can leave your past behind.

We know what we are, but know not what we may be.

Most of us enter adult life with great ambitions for how we will start our own ventures, but the harshness of life wears us down. We settle into some job and slowly give in to the illusion that our bosses care about us and our future, that they spend time thinking of our welfare.

You tell me: Can you live crushed under the weight of the present? Without a memory of the past and without the desire to look ahead to the future by building something, a future, a family? Can you go on like this? This, to me, is the most urgent problem that the Church is facing.

We can fear things into existence. Fear looks into the future and imagines the worst that can happen.

I would never die for my beliefs because I might be wrong.

This healthy eating stuff, it’s here to stay, and we now have everything we need to seize the opportunity and give all our kids the healthy futures they so richly deserve.

The woman that deliberates is lost.

I don’t have all the answers.

I hope my own children never have to fight a war.

Conservatism discards Prescription, shrinks from Principle, disavows Progress; having rejected all respect for antiquity, it offers no redress for the present, and makes no preparation for the future.

I might just write a novel next. I don’t know!

I am confident that when the facts and policies have been examined, when the record of performances have been reviewed, Barack Obama and Joe Biden will once again be elected to lead our beloved country to a better future.

It’s a very confusing era that we’re in.

For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream.

A politician needs the ability to foretell what is going to happen tomorrow, next week, next month, and next year. And to have the ability afterwards to explain why it didn’t happen.

‚Tis better to bear the ills we have than fly to others that we know not of.

I don’t think people are going to talk in the future. They’re going to communicate through eye contact, body language, emojis, signs.

The future of advertising is the Internet.

Why should I be studying for a future that soon may not exist?

Ironically, parenting is a shame and judgment minefield precisely because most of us are wading through uncertainty and self-doubt when it comes to raising our children.

It is not like I have gone crazy, I just don’t want to take any chances. You never know what could happen.

While physics and mathematics may tell us how the universe began, they are not much use in predicting human behavior because there are far too many equations to solve. I’m no better than anyone else at understanding what makes people tick, particularly women.

That is America. That is America. Those bonds of affection; that common creed. We don’t fear the future; we shape it. We embrace it, as one people, stronger together than we are on our own.

It has not yet become obvious to me that there’s no real problem. I cannot define the real problem; therefore, I suspect there’s no real problem, but I’m not sure there’s no real problem.

Life’s short. Anything could happen, and it usually does, so there is no point in sitting around thinking about all the ifs, ands and buts.

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.

We are made wise not by the recollection of our past, but by the responsibility for our future.

For other nations, utopia is a blessed past never to be recovered; for Americans it is just beyond the horizon.

I cannot discover that anyone knows enough to say definitely what is and what is not possible.

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.

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.

It’s going to be the year of the sharp elbow and the quick tongue.

If there’s one thing that’s certain in business, it’s uncertainty.

For me, when you are have people wondering what is next, what is coming out, you are on the right track.

Waking up every day and loving someone who may or may not love us back, whose safety we can’t ensure, who may stay in our lives or may leave without a moment’s notice, who may be loyal to the day they die or betray us tomorrow – that’s vulnerability.

A hustler has to deal with danger and risk. It’s part of the game. You cannot control it all, nor would you want to. Chaos, unknown factors are not something to be anxious about.

The past is prophetic in that it asserts loudly that wars are poor chisels for carving out peaceful tomorrows.

The end of the human race will be that it will eventually die of civilization.

We can choose a future where we export more products and outsource fewer jobs. After a decade that was defined by what we bought and borrowed, we’re getting back to basics, and doing what America has always done best: We’re making things again.

I had faith in Israel before it was established, I have in it now. I believe it has a glorious future before it – not just another sovereign nation, but as an embodiment of the great ideals of our civilization.

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.
