The secret of your future is hidden in your daily routine.

Mike Murdock
The most glorious moments in your life are not the so-called days of success, but rather those days when out of dejection and despair you feel rise in you a challenge to life, and the promise of future accomplishments.

See, when you drive home today, you’ve got a big windshield on the front of your car. And you’ve got a little bitty rearview mirror. And the reason the windshield is so large and the rearview mirror is so small is because what’s happened in your past is not near as important as what’s in your future.

In the future, we will probably see cyber operations that change or manipulate electronic information to compromise its integrity instead of simply deleting the access to it.

Let your hopes, not your hurts, shape your future.

Humanity has the stars in its future, and that future is too important to be lost under the burden of juvenile folly and ignorant superstition.

The future battle on the ground will be preceded by battle in the air. This will determine which of the contestants has to suffer operational and tactical disadvantages and be forced throughout the battle into adoption compromise solutions.

Erwin Rommel
Stories bring us together. We can talk about them and bond over them. They are shared knowledge, shared legend, and shared history; often, they shape our shared future.

If you think in terms of a year, plant a seed; if in terms of ten years, plant trees; if in terms of 100 years, teach the people.

An exciting and inspiring future awaits you beyond the noise in your mind, beyond the guilt, doubt, fear, shame, insecurity and heaviness of the past you carry around.

How paramount the future is to the present when one is surrounded by children.

The scary thing about the future… there will be tiny cameras everywhere, and they’ll be flying around like mosquitoes and drones. That will be bad. Drones are scary. You can’t reason with a drone.

Fear not for the future, weep not for the past.

The challenge of the unknown future is so much more exciting than the stories of the accomplished past.

As a nation we have the right to decide our own affairs, to mould our own future. This does not pose any danger to anybody. Our nation is fully aware of the responsibility for its own fate in the complicated situation of the contemporary world.

My generation, we’re so smart and opinionated, and we know the world we want to live in; we know the future we want. We’re such a liberal, forward-thinking generation that’s been held back by an older generation that doesn’t understand it, doesn’t want the world to progress quickly because of old ideologies.

Our grandkids will lead the lives of the gods of mythology. Zeus could think and move objects around. We’ll have that power. Venus had a perfect, timeless body. We’ll have that, too. Pegasus was a flying horse. We’ll be able to modify life in the future.

Have you not noticed that love is silence? It may be while holding the hand of another, or looking lovingly at a child, or taking in the beauty of an evening. Love has no past or future, and so it is with this extraordinary state of silence.

I really do believe in succession building and giving people experience for future leadership.

Feminism is, I hope, a way to a better future for everyone who inhabits this world. Feminism should not be something that needs a seductive marketing campaign. The idea of women moving through the world as freely as men should sell itself.

The essence of optimism is that it takes no account of the present, but it is a source of inspiration, of vitality and hope where others have resigned; it enables a man to hold his head high, to claim the future for himself and not to abandon it to his enemy.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The African mind has a lot to contribute, not only to world understanding of the arts, but to an understanding of spiritualism. That is the contribution Africa will make to the world of the future – an injection of sanity into the environment of the universe itself.

The risk of the Holocaust is not that it will be forgotten, but that it will be embalmed and surrounded by monuments and used to absolve all future sins.

When you’re poor, you know nothing about the future, you know nothing about the world, nothing that goes on outside 300 yards around you.

Futurists don’t consider overpopulation one of the issues of the future. They consider it the issue of the future.

The best thing about the future is that it comes only one day at a time.

Dean Acheson
The mind is never satisfied with the objects immediately before it, but is always breaking away from the present moment, and losing itself in schemes of future felicity… The natural flights of the human mind are not from pleasure to pleasure, but from hope to hope.

The idea of personal salvation is intensely repugnant to me when it is not absurd. Imagine Roosevelt, the big brute, preserving his personality in a future state and swaggering about as a celestial Rough Rider!

What we need to do is always lean into the future; when the world changes around you and when it changes against you – what used to be a tail wind is now a head wind – you have to lean into that and figure out what to do because complaining isn’t a strategy.

Conservatism discards Prescription, shrinks from Principle, disavows Progress; having rejected all respect for antiquity, it offers no redress for the present, and makes no preparation for the future.

I want people to really recognize that this is what I am naturally good at: I’m really good at making music and describing your feelings vicariously through my experiences, through my past and my future. I want people to relate to me in multiple ways and be versatile in my music.

You get caught up thinking about the future, you lose sight of the present.

The future which we hold in trust for our own children will be shaped by our fairness to other people’s children.

George Linnaeus Banks
If we are to better the future we must disturb the present.

Catherine Booth
Our imagination is the only limit to what we can hope to have in the future.

Without culture, and the relative freedom it implies, society, even when perfect, is but a jungle. This is why any authentic creation is a gift to the future.

I think Lil Uzi is dope. Future is dope. I love Young Thug. I’m a huge Young Thug fan.

Joyner Lucas
Hope is trust in God’s promises, faith that if we act now, the desired blessings will be fulfilled in the future.

Human spirit is the ability to face the uncertainty of the future with curiosity and optimism. It is the belief that problems can be solved, differences resolved. It is a type of confidence. And it is fragile. It can be blackened by fear and superstition.

Bernard Beckett
That man is prudent who neither hopes nor fears anything from the uncertain events of the future.

You never know what can happen in the future. But I can’t say anything bad about Newcastle.

I am not like a pebble on the beach – a grain of sand on the seashore or just one of millions of human beings past, present and future. No, I am a unique human being loved by God as if I were an only child – the only fruit of his creative powers.

The beauty of dystopia is that it lets us vicariously experience future worlds – but we still have the power to change our own.

Ally Condie
The future is always beginning now.

Mark Strand

The country that is more developed industrially only shows, to the less developed, the image of its own future.

And all your future lies beneath your hat.

John Oldham
Future is mobile computing – smartphones and tablets are just elements of it. The industry is on the verge of a whole new paradigm.

Thorsten Heins
The future will take care of itself. My plans have fallen flat. Nothing that I planned has worked for me so far. So I don’t plan anymore. I keep short-term plans.

The reality is you either step into the future, or you become a dinosaur.

It all happened so fast. The ghetto. The deportation. The sealed cattle car. The fiery altar upon which the history of our people and the future of mankind were meant to be sacrificed.

In order to design a future of positive change, we must first become expert at changing our minds.

The ability to think straight, some knowledge of the past, some vision of the future, some skill to do useful service, some urge to fit that service into the well-being of the community – these are the most vital things education must try to produce.

Virginia Gildersleeve
The future of humanity is going to bifurcate in two directions: Either it’s going to become multiplanetary, or it’s going to remain confined to one planet and eventually there’s going to be an extinction event.

I’m always looking to the future and what will next be on the horizon.

If you deliver excellence right now, that gives you the best shot at the best future you’ve got coming.

Earl Wilson
We can build a much brighter future where humans are relieved of menial work using AI capabilities.

Unless one is able to live fully in the present, the future is a hoax.

Attachment to the past and fears concerning the future not only govern the way you select the things you own but also represent the criteria by which you make choices in every aspect of your life, including your relationships with people and your job.

The future… seems to me no unified dream but a mince pie, long in the baking, never quite done.

It is possible to live happily in the here and the now. So many conditions of happiness are available – more than enough for you to be happy right now. You don’t have to run into the future in order to get more.

The future ain’t what it used to be.

Science is the key to our future, and if you don’t believe in science, then you’re holding everybody back.

Everybody aspires to an affordable home, a secure job, better living standards, reliable healthcare and a decent pension. My generation took those things for granted, and so should future generations.

When you realize the value of all life, you dwell less on what is past and concentrate more on the preservation of the future.

I can’t speak for the future. I have no crystal ball.

The important consequences to the American States from this Declaration of Independence, considered as the ground and foundation of a future government, naturally suggest the propriety of proclaiming it in such a manner as that the people may be universally informed of it.

John Hancock
Innovation is the calling card of the future.

Anna Eshoo
At some future period, not very distant as measured by centuries, the civilized races of man will almost certainly exterminate, and replace the savage races throughout the world.

History is a relentless master. It has no present, only the past rushing into the future. To try to hold fast is to be swept aside.

The value of beauty and inspiration is very much underrated, no question. But I want to be clear: I’m not trying to be anyone’s savior. I’m just trying to think about the future and not be sad.

For Republicans, accepting responsibility means accepting punishment; for Democrats, it means only an admission of error and a suggestion they’ll do better in the future. This double standard must end.

Tomorrow is no man’s gift.

Gilbert Parker
We make the future sustainable when we invest in the poor, not when we insist on their suffering.

The past cannot be changed. The future is yet in your power.

Religion was nearly dead because there was no longer real belief in future life; but something was struggling to take its place – service – social service – the ants creed, the bees creed.

John Galsworthy
Global sustainability is now the only avenue to future inclusive progress that can deliver the Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris climate agreement.

When I was growing up, my mum was doing illegal smuggling with China. Sometimes she would see a fortune teller for advice. One time I went with her: ‘In your future, you’ll be living in foreign country and eating the foreign country rice,’ she said.

I started posting covers online and having this crazy determination about what I wanted to do and just went for it. I was like, ‘Okay, no one else can create my future for me, and no one can get what I want for me, so I have to go out and get it myself.’

The Internet: transforming society and shaping the future through chat.

The only thing we know about the future is that it will be different.

The move to a zero-carbon future is unstoppable.

But I dare not think too far into the future on the risk that I’ll miss the present.

I want to make sure that that future that we’re creating is one that is the best it can be for people around the world, and also one that includes the full range of our talent and our skills – and, you know, gender and ethnicity, geography – to solving the world’s problems.

The word tomorrow was invented for indecisive people and for children.

Ivan Turgenev
We can continue to try and clean up the gutters all over the world and spend all of our resources looking at just the dirty spots and trying to make them clean. Or we can lift our eyes up and look into the skies and move forward in an evolutionary way.

Solitude is not something you must hope for in the future. Rather, it is a deepening of the present, and unless you look for it in the present you will never find it.

The hardships that I encountered in the past will help me succeed in the future.

Philip Emeagwali
Technology is changing so fast that investment in hardware is getting riskier everyday. On the other hand, whether it is traditional computers or smart gadgets which are part of the convergence technologies of the future, some planning of hardware needs is still important.

The unleashed power of the atom has changed everything save our modes of thinking and we thus drift toward unparalleled catastrophe.

Citizens victimized by genocide or abandoned by the international community do not make good neighbors, as their thirst for vengeance, their irredentism and their acceptance of violence as a means of generating change can turn them into future threats.

Climate change is not just about carbon dioxide levels and melting polar ice caps. It is about our public health and protecting our Earth for future generations.

Creativity has always depended on openness and flexibility, so let us hope for more of both in the future.

Neville Chamberlain
I’m really excited about what the future holds and to grow as an individual and as an artist.

My pops put me on to Jay-Z and Kanye, and my discoveries would be like Future and Kendrick Lamar. I turned my pops on to Kendrick, Young Thug. I feel my mom made me play the Isley Brothers and real, real old music.

The potential for synthetic biology and biotechnology is vast; we all have an opportunity to create the future together.

Investing is about predicting the future, and the future is inherently unpredictable. Therefore, the only way you can do better is to assess all the facts and truly know what you know and know what you don’t know. That’s your probability edge.

I’ve said it before, but it’s absolutely true: My mother gave me my drive, but my father gave me my dreams. Thanks to him, I could see a future.

Fear keeps us focused on the past or worried about the future. If we can acknowledge our fear, we can realize that right now we are okay. Right now, today, we are still alive, and our bodies are working marvelously. Our eyes can still see the beautiful sky. Our ears can still hear the voices of our loved ones.

Performance art is going to be the future. Plays on Broadway are so restricted. But performance art is like haikus, just one line thing. And it’s more casual but more interesting.

God wants us to prosper financially, to have plenty of money, to fulfill the destiny He has laid out for us.

Life is divided into three terms – that which was, which is, and which will be. Let us learn from the past to profit by the present, and from the present, to live better in the future.

The future is called ‘perhaps’, which is the only possible thing to call the future. And the important thing is not to allow that to scare you.

Samsung‘s future hinges on new businesses, new products and new technologies. We should make our corporate culture more open, flexible and innovative.

Lee Kun-hee
When a scientist is ahead of his times, it is often through misunderstanding of current, rather than intuition of future truth. In science there is never any error so gross that it won’t one day, from some perspective, appear prophetic.

Conventional agriculture has never succeeded in feeding the world, and it’s never produced anything good to eat. For the future, we need to look toward alternatives.

Dan Barber
People worry that gas prices are high and how they are affecting their pocket book. But they want to know about renewable energy. People are really starting to question things, and that’s made people look to the future in a positive way.

Fernando Flores
Whatever you learn will never go waste. It will be beneficial for me in future.

We should all be concerned about the future because we will have to spend the rest of our lives there.

In the future, maybe quantum mechanics will teach us something equally chilling about exactly how we exist from moment to moment of what we like to think of as time.

Without libraries what have we? We have no past and no future.

Death has its revelations: the great sorrows which open the heart open the mind as well; light comes to us with our grief. As for me, I have faith; I believe in a future life. How could I do otherwise? My daughter was a soul; I saw this soul. I touched it, so to speak.

I was a peripheral visionary. I could see the future, but only way off to the side.

The only people who can fix Africa are talented young Africans. By unlocking and nurturing their creative potential, we can create a step change in Africa’s future.

Neil Turok
The final upshot of thinking is the exercise of volition, and of this thought no longer forms a part; but belief is only a stadium of mental action, an effect upon our nature due to thought, which will influence future thinking.

Charles Sanders Peirce
You have reckoned that history ought to judge the past and to instruct the contemporary world as to the future. The present attempt does not yield to that high office. It will merely tell how it really was.

Leopold Von Ranke
God isn’t present in the past or future. The great ‘I Am’ is in the present moment. When I claim that presence, I can get through anything today.

Encouragement of higher education for our youth is critical to the success of our collective future.

People talk about doom-laden scenarios happening in the future: they are happening in Africa now. You can see it perfectly clearly. Periodic famines are due to too many people living on land that can’t sustain them.

The future belongs to those who see possibilities before they become obvious.

To shape today’s and tomorrow’s ‘future proof‘ worker, schools must teach specialized hard skills, such as the STEM skills that are in high demand.

Owen D Young
The past, like the future, is indefinite and exists only as a spectrum of possibilities.

We cannot turn the clock back nor can we undo the harm caused, but we have the power to determine the future and to ensure that what happened never happens again.

I don’t know where streaming will go in the future. The analytics that we’re seeing tell us that streaming is the next thing, and downloads are going down. I feel like with the history of this platform, from vinyl to where we are now, it just seems like the next logical step.

There have to be reasons that you get up in the morning and you want to live. Why do you want to live? What’s the point? What inspires you? What do you love about the future? If the future does not include being out there among the stars and being a multi-planet species, I find that incredibly depressing.

Our job is not to predict the future. Rather, it’s to suggest all the possible futures – so that society can make informed decisions about where we want to go.

Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.

Leaders establish the vision for the future and set the strategy for getting there.

It is not just disposable income but whether people feel good about their immediate future that drives sales. It is this feel-good factor that drives the purchases more and more than mere economic wealth.

Johann Rupert

Nothing is a bigger waste of time than regretting the past and worrying about the future.

My future is in my past and my past is my present. I must now make the present my future.

I like the dreams of the future better than the history of the past.

Ken Hensley
Religion and science are the two conjugated faces or phases of one and the same complete act of knowledge – the only one which can embrace the past and future of evolution and so contemplate, measure and fulfil them.

If we can’t begin to agree on fundamentals, such as the elimination of the most abusive forms of child labor, then we really are not ready to march forward into the future.

Alexis Herman
I love this stuff – bitcoin, ethereum, blockchain technology – and what the future holds.

When you get just a complete sense of blackness or void ahead of you, that somehow the future looks an impossible place to be, and the direction you are going seems to have no purpose, there is this word despair which is a very awful thing to feel.

I can look at the future with anticipation. And it’s comforting to know that someday, as Christians, we’ll be able to look back and have a little more clarity on why certain things in life happened.

Our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children’s future. And we are all mortal.

Daniel Goldstein
Architects today tend to depreciate themselves, to regard themselves as no more than just ordinary citizens without the power to reform the future.

Kenzo Tange
Create your future from your future not your past.

Werner Erhard
To live only for some future goal is shallow. It’s the sides of the mountain that sustain life, not the top.

When takers talk about mistakes, they’re usually quick to place the blame on other people. Givers are more likely to say ‘Here’s the mistake I made; I learned the following from it. Here are the steps I’m taking to make sure I don’t let people down in the future.’

When you relinquish the desire to control your future, you can have more happiness.

By refocusing our space program on Mars for America’s future, we can restore the sense of wonder and adventure in space exploration that we knew in the summer of 1969. We won the moon race; now it’s time for us to live and work on Mars, first on its moons and then on its surface.

No work or love will flourish out of guilt, fear, or hollowness of heart, just as no valid plans for the future can be made by those who have no capacity for living now.

Modern science says: ‘The sun is the past, the earth is the present, the moon is the future.’ From an incandescent mass we have originated, and into a frozen mass we shall turn. Merciless is the law of nature, and rapidly and irresistibly we are drawn to our doom.

I don’t speculate too much about the future. That’s the thing about this job – it’s so fickle. You take the jobs, you read the scripts and, if something interests you and you like the people who are working on it, you go for it.

Aidan Turner
In football, I have learned to forget the past, think about the present, and the future will come as it may – thinking about it would be a mistake.

Right actions in the future are the best apologies for bad actions in the past.

The future isn’t just a place you’ll go. It’s a place you will invent.

Nancy Duarte
I’m substantially concerned about the policy directions of the space agency. We have a situation in the U.S. where the White House and Congress are at odds over what the future direction should be. They’re sort of playing a game and NASA is the shuttlecock that they’re hitting back and forth.

The future is as bright as the promises of God.

William Carey
A women who doesn’t wear perfume has no future.

I don’t have time to beat myself up over my fallible nature. Instead I use my energy to learn from my past and let it inform my future. It’s time to own all of our glory, mistakes, mess and light and be gentle to ourselves. Let’s be kind to our spirits and celebrate the truth of our hearts.

I think the iPhone was as significant an invention as the Gutenburg press, in terms of the future of humanity.

Humans are distinguished from other species by a massive brain that enables us to imagine a future and influence it by what we do in the present.

The future will be the child of the past and the present, even if a rebellious child.

George Crumb
Each man should frame life so that at some future hour fact and his dreaming meet.

The children have been a wonderful gift to me, and I’m thankful to have once again seen our world through their eyes. They restore my faith in the family’s future.

Education is not a tool for development – individual, community and the nation. It is the foundation for our future. It is empowerment to make choices and emboldens the youth to chase their dreams.

It is difficult to live in the present, ridiculous to live in the future and impossible to live in the past. Nothing is as far away as one minute ago.

Jim Bishop
Drugs are the enemies of ambition and hope – and when we fight against drugs we are fighting for the future.

If education is always to be conceived along the same antiquated lines of a mere transmission of knowledge, there is little to be hoped from it in the bettering of man’s future. For what is the use of transmitting knowledge if the individual’s total development lags behind?

‘Neon Future’ is, in short, a positive outlook on human progress and technology, looking forward to a bright, colorful utopia. It’s embracing the future and looking toward the future in a more optimistic way.

The future lies in designing and selling computers that people don’t realize are computers at all.

Adam Osborne
For time and the world do not stand still. Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or the present are certain to miss the future.

The future of AEW is Maxwell J. Friedman, without a shadow of a doubt. I am going to be the face of this company. At the tender age of 23… people think I’m great now? They don’t know the half of it. I mean, my career’s only just begun.

I have seen the future, and it is much like the present, only longer.

Dan Quisenberry
