History shows us that people are terrible about guessing what is going to happen - next week, next month, and especially next year.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
History keeps teaching us that we can't recognize the important events that are going to trigger changes.
Nobody knows the future with certainty. We can, however, identify ongoing patterns of change.
History shows you don't know what the future brings.
Nobody wants a prediction that the future will be more or less like the present, even if that is, statistically speaking, an excellent prediction.
Prediction is very difficult, especially if it's about the future.
Those who don't know history are destined to repeat it.
The one thing we know about the future is that it will not be like today. I don't think that people should be too anxious about not knowing what they are going to do in the future, because we really can't know.
Never make predictions, especially about the future.
The purpose of thinking about the future is not to predict it but to raise people's hopes.
I'm a historian. The act of predicting the future discomfits me, in any event - and the bigger the prediction, the more distrusting I am.
