The future is hidden by a dark impenetrable veil, and yet we struggle to pierce through it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The future is our greatest adversary. We are a very backward-looking society, and as such, we are continually blindsided by the future.
The future is too interesting and dangerous to be entrusted to any predictable, reliable agency. We need all the fallibility we can get. Most of all, we need to preserve the absolute unpredictability and total improbability of our connected minds. That way we can keep open all the options, as we have in the past.
If we are to better the future we must disturb the present.
The future has a way of arriving unannounced.
Death at times seems like a dark tunnel to be traveled, and the future seems bleak.
Time will bring to light whatever is hidden; it will cover up and conceal what is now shining in splendor.
The future is limitless.
Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present.
The future is in our power. Let us, then, each morning, resolve to send the day into eternity in such a garb as we shall wish it to wear forever. And at night, let us reflect that one more day is irrevocably gone, indelibly marked.
The future is an opaque mirror. Anyone who tries to look into it sees nothing but the dim outlines of an old and worried face.
