Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. Comes into us at midnight very clean. It’s perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands. It hopes we have learned something from yesterday.
The future us called “perhaps”, which is the only possible thing to call the future. And the important thing is not to allow that to scare you.
We should all be concerned about the future because we will have to spend the rest of our lives there.
I have a vision of the future, chum. The workers flats in fields of soya beans Tower up like silver pencils.
Everything that looks to the future elevates human nature; for life is never so low or so little as when occupied with the present.
We are always looking to the future; the present does not satisfy us. Our ideal, whatever it may be, lies further on.
Trust no future however pleasant; let the dead past bury its dead. Act – act in the living present, heart within, and God overhead.
How narrow our souls become when absorbed in any present good or ill! It is only the thought of the future that makes them great.
The veil which covers the face of futurity is woven by the hand of mercy.
What is already passed is not more fixed than the certainty that what is future will grow out of what has already passed, or is now passing.
The future is always a fairy land to the young.
Age and sorrow have the gift of reading the future by the past.
The golden age is not in the past, but in the future; not in the origin of human experience, but in its consummate flower; not opening in Eden, but out from Gethsemane.
Look not mournfully to the past it comes not back again; wisely improve the present it is thin; go forth to meet the shadowy future without fear, and with a manly heart.
God will not suffer man to have a knowledge of things to come; for if he had prescience of his prosperity, he would be careless; and if understanding of his adversity, he would be despairing and senseless.
The best preparation for the future, is the present well seen to, and the last duty done.
The future, only, is our goal. We are never living, but only hoping to live; and looking forward always to being happy, it is inevitable that we never are so.
We always live prospectively; never retrospectively, and there is no abiding moment.
Oh, blindness to the future! Kindly given, that each may fill the circle marked by heaven.
Every tomorrow has two handles. We can take hold of it with the handle of anxiety or the handle of faith.
We should live for the future, and yet should find our life in the fidelities of the present; the last is the only method of the first.
Boast not thyself of tomorrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.
I never think of the future. It comes soon enough.
I have seen the future and it works.
