Quotations
Future
There's no present. There's only the immediate future and the recent past.
-George Carlin
The past is a source of knowledge, and the future is a source of hope. Love of the past implies faith in the future.
-Stephen E. Ambrose
The entire past of a person is like a dustbin. Whenever one puts his hand in and
tries to take anything out, no matter what it is, it will surely stink. Similarly, all his
aspirations for future resemble the desire to fly like a bird, whenever he will try,
he is bound to fall hard and hit the ground.
-Deep Trivedi

I didn’t believe in that.
Tomorrow wasn’t getting ready for them.
It didn’t even know they were there.
-Cormac McCarthy
"The Road"
Prediction is very difficult, especially about the future.
-Niels Bohr
I don’t live in either my past or my future. I’m interested only in the present. If you can concentrate always on the present, you’ll be a happy man. Life will be a party for you, a grand festival, because life is the moment we’re living now.
-Paulo Coelho
"The Alchemist"
I believe the future is only the past again, entered through another gate.
-Arthur Wing Pinero
"The Second Mrs. Tanqueray"
Life lived for tomorrow will always be just a day away from being realized.
-Felice Leonardo “Leo” Buscaglia
We cannot always assure the future of our friends; we have a better chance of assuring our future if we remember who our friends are.
