I never try to imagine the future. I kinda think it's a waste of time. I live in the now.
From my youth, I'd never stopped thinking in the future tense.
We are always looking into the future, but we see only the past.
To predict the future we would have to know today what we will learn tomorrow which will shape our future actions
Sometimes, I think the things we see are shadows of the things to be; that what we plan we build
We cannot fling ourselves into the blank future; we can only call up images from the past. This being so, the important principle follows, that how many images we have largely depends on how much past we have.
The future is an imagined Now, a projection of the mind.
You can't really predict the future. All you can do is invent it.
Think about all the tomorrows of your life.
It is easy to be virtuous in prospective.
When tomorrow comes, think tomorrow's thoughts.
Of what use, educationally speaking, is it to be able to see the end in the beginning?
It is a peculiarity of man that he can only live by looking to the future.
Sometimes, I think, our impulses come not from the past, but from the future.
But it's our curse and our blessing to remember the past and to know there's a future. —Charlie
I thought of the future, and spoke of the past.
We are often wrong about the past, but at least with the past you can change your thinking. We can't do that with the 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.
A person who cannot imagine the future is a person who cannot contemplate the results of his actions. Some are thus paralyzed into inaction.
The future interests me - I'm going to spend the rest of my life there.
We will not anticipate the past; so mind, young people,-our retrospection will be all to the future.
As I thought about that, I had to wonder: What will we know better about tomorrow? Who cares? Hindsight is useless.
Futurity is the great concern of mankind.
Without the past to cast its long shadow, might you see the future more clearly?
No one ever thinks about what the hell is going to happen 25 years from now.
