We are not slaves of the past, nor servants of the present, but masters of the future.
When penciling in your future, always use a pen
The future depends on what you do today.
A good leader must have the wisdom to know when a pursuit is no longer worthy of being pursued - a time when the losses of the present must be accepted - and cut - to preserve the gains and providence of the future.
Past experience doesn't go away, so the secret is to accept, embrace and learn from it. However the key to the secret, is to keep it at bay and be open minded about the future from the second after the experience and never let the experience be the bar or commission of anything thereafter.
If you’re always looking back at what you’ve lost, you’ll never discover the treasure that lies just up ahead.
Let your past failures prepare you for future victories.

I tell the story to you now, but in each telling the story itself changes a little, changes direction, and that in turn changes you and me.

Tomorrow's world can not exist without morals, without faith and memory. Cynicism, narrow interests and cowardice must not occupy our lives.
Time doesn't conceal anything, it tells the future what you did in the past, so prepare well in order to score extra marks.
No one can predict the future exactly, but we know two things: It’s going to be different, and it must be rooted in today’s world.

We do not have to see the beginning and the end of our lives, but we must close our eyes and live as if we didn't start or would never end.
Film photography will always be superior to digital - because no matter how many lasers and instant buttons and HD pixels you've got, a human being can take a photograph with much more integrity and meaning than one a built-in robot took.
What comes, when it comes, will be what it is.
We both knew the place we were at and what that meant. We both felt the regret and the loss. We both knew that without me, none of it would have been possible. Without me, everything would be different. Without me, we wouldn't have been there... lying in that bed in the first place.

Rather than looking for explanations for why all people deserve to be treated with compassion and respect, we ought to be working at creating a world in which people are treated with compassion and respect. Human rights aren’t lying around waiting to be discovered. They’re made, not found.
Two steps forward...one step back...I've always hated that old cliche too...I believe that we should all be able to dance through life and only change the tempo now and then.
Mere hope isn't enough to change destiny. One must act.
The novel was set in an unspecified near future, because setting a novel in the present in a time of unprecedented technological and social dislocation seemed to me shortsighted.... To write a book set in the present, circa 2013, is to write about the distant past.

I'm still struggling with the fact that due to my own (selfish) desire to be a writer, my children probably won't have the same opportunities I had growning up. For most students, however, I genuinely think it's about the money. It's a factor, sure. But it just feels like a factor.
The ultimate test of man's conscience may be his willingness to sacrifice something today for future generations whose words of thanks will not be heard.
Words! What power they hold. Once they have rooted in your psyche, it is difficult to escape them. Words can shape the future of a child and destroy the existence of an adult.

Take good care of your final word. If your final say will hunt you in day's ahead, then hold back the words, and let silence speak.

I still wake with your name on my lips every morning.
There are different ways to be confused about how someone's disappointed you. Some lie about the future because they wanted to forget the past. But some will lie about the past because they think it will give you both a future.
Perhaps a wiser eye than hers would be able to read tomorrow in tonight's stars, but where was the fun in that? It was better not to know. Better to be alive in the Here and the Now-in this bright, laughing moment-and let the Hours to come take care of themselves.
...it will be a world made not bright but brighter, not clean but cleaner.
I don't think much about guys from the past. I'm glad I knew them, but there's a reason they didn't make it into my future.
Imagination paints a charming view of the future, conveniently adapted to the demands of our current emotion.
Rarely did events play out as imagined, in any case. The order of future events was transient. In the same way that the past was reconfigured by selective memory, future events, too, were moving targets.

Not because we think that it's still about to happen,

You are only happy in life if you forget the bad things and focus on the good things
The scientific man does not aim at an immediate result. He does not expect that his advanced ideas will be readily taken up. His work is like that of the planter - for the future. His duty is to lay the foundation for those who are to come, and point the way.
He focused on the world before him; the illusions and the mysteries of the future haunted his eyes.
Instead of writing backwards over what had happened, giving structure and meaning to his story, he wrote forwards, slipping into troubling futures.
My sense of the holy is bound up with the hope that some day my remote descendants will live in a global civilization in which love is pretty much the only law.
