These days people seek knowledge, not wisdom. Knowledge is of the past, wisdom is of the future.
The three glues that hold humankind together are the courage of women, the compassion of men and the laughter of children.
''The seeds of the future,lie buried in the past.''
Pick the day. Enjoy it - to the hilt. The day as it comes. People as they come... The past, I think, as helped me appreciate the present, and I don't want to spoil any of it by fretting about the future.
The future depends on what we do in the present
Choose the path which most reflects the face of your soul.
The future belongs to those who survive their past
The future you have today won't be the same future you had yesterday.
We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another; unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations.
Fear of future is a waste of the present.
I maintain that the biggest challenge in the new millennium could be a change of habit. We could change from a dominating commodity culture into one of true exchange in which we learn from each other in humility and respect. I do think it's possible. But it's up to us.
The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena; it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence.
We should try to be the parents of our future rather than the offspring of our past.
"I look to the future because that's where I'm going to spend the rest of my life."
It's common to say that trees come from seeds. But how can a tiny seed create a huge tree? Seeds do not contain the resources need to grow a tree. These must come from the medium or environment within which the tree grows. But the seed does provide something that is crucial : a place where the whole of the tree starts to form. As resources such as water and nutrients are drawn in, the seed organizes the process that generates growth. In a sense, the seed is a gateway through which the future possibility of the living tree emerges.
"There are no futures. There are only streams of endless possibilities that collapse into one present as we rush head long into them. But even the present is an illusion, slipping from our grasp as we reach for it, becoming the past. It is only the past that truly exists. The past that scars our minds with memory. With reverberations that dictate our lives. With traces that haunt our eyes till death."
We hope for the future, then we reach for the past.
There is nothing like dream to create the future. Utopia today, flesh and blood tomorrow.
We cannot truly plan, because we do not understand the future--but this is not necessarily a bad news. We could plan while bearing in mind such limitations. It just takes guts.
Don't let the mistakes and disappointments of the past control and direct your future.
A product of your life and liberty is your property. Property is the fruit of your labor, the product of your time, energy, and talents. It is that part of nature that you turn to valuable use. And it is the property of others that is given to you by voluntary exchange and mutual consent. Two people who exchange property voluntarily are both better off or they wouldn't do it. Only they may rightfully make that decision for themselves.
You exist in time: future, present, and past. This is manifest in life, liberty, and the product of your life and liberty. The exercise of choices over life and liberty is your prosperity. To lose your life is to lose your future. To lose your liberty is to lose your present. And to lose the product of your life and liberty is to lose the portion of your past that produced it.
The only thing we know about the future is that it will be different. –
What we already know is in the past. What we have yet to discover is the future. Always make your questions bigger than your answers, and you'll keep drawing yourself into a bigger future with new possibilities."
"Upper classes are a nation’s past; the middle class is its future."
Faith is not contrary to the usual ideas, something that turns out to be right or wrong, like a gambler's bet: it's an act, an intention, a project, something that makes you, in leaping into the future, go so far, far, far ahead that you shoot clean out of time and right into Eternity, which is not the end of time or a whole lot of time or unending time, but timelessness, the old Eternal Now
Perhaps the West will be able to facilitate a transformation of the Muslin worlds by applying outside pressure. It will not be enough, however, for the United States and a few European countries to take a hard line while the rest of Europe and Asia sell advanced weaponry and “dual-use” nuclear reactors to all comers. To achieve the necessary economic leverage, so that we stand a chance of waging this war of ideas by peaceful means, the development of alternative energy technologies should become the new Manhattan Project. There are, needless to say, sufficient economic and environmental justifications for doing this, but there are political ones as well. If oil were to become worthless, the dysfunction of the most prominent Muslim societies would suddenly grow as conspicuous as the sun. Muslims might then come to see the wisdom of moderating their thinking on a wide variety of subjects. Otherwise, we will be obliged to protect our interests in the world with force – continually. In this case, it seems all but certain that our newspapers will begin to read more and like the book of Revelation.
Our children are the cement of life, its up to us to make the foundation of the future!
Plans never go the way they are meant to. They are just the blueprints of what can happen. The outline of endless possibilities. We can't predict the future.
