#Future

"No, our science is no illusion. But an illusion it would be to suppose that what science cannot give us we can get elsewhere."

"Today’s experience is necessary to equip you fully for the future."

"The life where nothing was ever unexpected. Or inconvenient. Or unusual. The life without colour, pain or past."

"The worst thing that can happen in a democracy - as well as in an individual's life - is to become cynical about the future and lose hope."

"Forgiving does not erase the bitter past. A healed memory is not a deleted memory. Instead, forgiving what we cannot forget creates a new way to remember. We change the memory of our past into a hope for our future."

"Education is our passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to the people who prepare for it today."

"You are always free to change your mind and choose a different future, or a different past."

"But you can build a future out of anything. A scrap, a flicker. The desire to go forward, slowly, one foot at a time. You can build an airy city out of ruins."

"When you see people only as personalities, rather than souls with life missions to fulfill, you forever limit the growth and possibilities of what God has in store for another person."

"He had that sense, or inward prophecy,-- which a young man had better never have been born than not to have, and a mature man had better die at once than utterly to relinquish,-- that we are not doomed to creep on forever in the old bad way, but that, this very now, there are harbingers abroad of a golden era, to be accomplished in his own lifetime."

"There is hope for the future because God has a sense of humor and we are funny to God."

"I like stepping into the future. Therefore, I look for doorknobs."

"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."

"The choices we’re working with here are a block universe, where past, present and future all coexist simultaneously and everything has already happened; chaos, where anything can happen and nothing can be predicted because we can’t know all the variables; and a Christian universe in which God made everything and it’s all here for a purpose but we have free will anyway."

"Only the living can read. This means that when I write, my target market is people of the future. Greetings, people of the moon!"

"We must restore hope to young people, help the old, be open to the future, spread love. Be poor among the poor. We need to include the excluded and preach peace."

"As fandom grew more variegated, genzines reflected a broadening of interests, carrying personal columns of humor and reflection, science articles, amateur fiction, stylish gossip, and inevitably, thoughtful pieces on the future of fandom."

"To design the future effectively, you must first let go of your past."

"Real generosity towards the future lies in giving all to the present."

"The six squares of our love didn’t add up to a cube. Still, I took the oddly-shaped box down to the post office and tried to mail it into the future, when I’d be more prepared to open it."
