The past is really almost as much a work of the imagination as the future.

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

The future enters into us, in order to transform itself in us, long before it happens.

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

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

Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.

Education is not only a ladder of opportunity, but it is also an investment in our future.

The only thing we know about the future is that it will be different.

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

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