Even though the future seems far away, it is actually beginning right now.

The future influences the present just as much as the past.

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

Planning is bringing the future into the present so that you can do something about it now.

Every great work of art has two faces, one toward its own time and one toward the future, toward eternity.

We should regret our mistakes and learn from them, but never carry them forward into the future with us.

Yesterday's the past, tomorrow's the future, but today is a gift. That's why it's called the present.

Future orientation is combined with a notion and expectation of progress, and nothing is impossible.

The best preparation for the future is the present well seen to, and the last duty done.

Some of the best lessons we ever learn are learned from past mistakes. The error of the past is the wisdom and success of the future.
