Famous quotes containing the word future:

    “Peace does not appear so distant as it did. I hope it will come soon, and come to stay; and so come as to be worth the keeping in all future time. It will then have been proved that, among free men, there can be no successful appeal from the ballot to the bullet; and that they who take such appeal are sure to lose their case, and pay the cost.”
    —Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    “The person who does not worry about the future will shortly have worries about the present.”
    —Chinese proverb.

    Confucian Analects.

    “The normal present connects the past and the future through limitation. Contiguity results, crystallization by means of solidification. There also exists, however, a spiritual present that identifies past and future through dissolution, and this mixture is the element, the atmosphere of the poet.”
    —Novalis [Friedrich Von Hardenberg] (1772–1801)
