It is sound judgment to hope that in the not too distant future we shall be competent to understand so simple a thing as a star.

Superstition is to religion what astrology is to astronomy the mad daughter of a wise mother. These daughters have too long dominated the earth.

The future is our greatest adversary. We are a very backward-looking society, and as such, we are continually blindsided by the future.

Everything that looks to the future elevates human nature; for life is never so low or so little as when occupied with the present.

Young people who have no future will easily give up their future, which they can't see on the horizon.

The stars shall fade away, the sun himself Grow dim with age, and nature sink in years, But thou shalt flourish in immortal youth, Unhurt amidst the wars of elements, The wrecks of matter, and the crush of worlds.

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.

Humans are terrible at predicting the future. We really overestimate what we can do in the short term and underestimate what we can do in the long term... If we can glimpse even a couple of years into the future, even that's difficult to do.
