Famous quotes containing the word future:

    “It is given to few to add the store of knowledge, to strike new springs of thought, or to shape new forms of beauty. But so sure as it is that men live not by bread, but by ideas, so sure is it that the future of the world lies in the hands of those who are able to carry the interpretation of nature a step further than their predecessors.”
    —Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

    “The future author is one who discovers that language, the exploration and manipulation of the resources of language, will serve him in winning through to his way.”
    —Thornton Wilder (1897–1975)

    “I am not naturally ... “A bag of wind”; yet ... I mean deliberately and decidedly “to cut” in future all my old ideas on this head. I don’t think modesty “pays.” It is a good quality in a family, it is a domestic virtue, it makes a home happy after you have got a home, but it is not potent in getting homes. It is not a money-maker, neither is it lucky in gaining a reputation. I am of the impression that gaseous bodies do better.”
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
