Quotations
Future
A preoccupation with the future not only prevents us from seeing the present as it is but often prompts us to rearrange the past.
-Eric Hoffer
I never think of the future. It comes soon enough.
-Albert Einstein
There's no present. There's only the immediate future and the recent past.
-George Carlin
I wonder why I don't go to bed and go to sleep. But then it would be tomorrow, so I decide that no matter how tired, no matter how incoherent I am, I can skip one hour more of sleep and live.
-Sylvia Plath
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"
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
The future is something which everyone reaches at the rate of sixty minutes an hour, whatever he does, whoever he is.
-C. S. Lewis
The future belongs to those who prepare for it today.
-Malcolm X
The future is uncertain but the end is always near.
-Jim Morrison
