3 December 2020 Carly Fiorina Most of the media… is positioning the merger with Compaq and the recent actions by Walter Hewlett and David Packard as a fight between the past and the future.
3 December 2020 Damien Hirst I’ve been asked to do a retrospective since I was about 28 and I always thought that was a bit odd. It’s great to look forward as an artist because in the future the possibilities are infinite you look back and it’s all fixed so it’s a scary thing.
3 December 2020 John Podhoretz While negativity is politically useful, it is also demoralizing unless it is accompanied – and to some extent overshadowed – by elevated and inspiring ideas about the American future.
3 December 2020 Glenn Danzig I’m just saying that at least for the foreseeable future there won’t be any more touring.
3 December 2020 Charles Caleb Colton Of present fame think little, and of future less the praises that we receive after we are buried, like the flowers that are strewed over our grave, may be gratifying to the living, but they are nothing to the dead.
3 December 2020 Sophocles Fortune raises up and fortune brings low both the man who fares well and the one who fares badly and there is no prophet of the future for mortal men.
3 December 2020 Colin Farrell But I dare not think too far into the future on the risk that I’ll miss the present.
3 December 2020 LaToya Jackson I’ll never stop dreaming that one day we can be a real family, together, all of us laughing and talking, loving and understanding, not looking at the past but only to the future.
3 December 2020 Heath Ledger I don’t have that much forward planning about what I want to do next, or in the future.
3 December 2020 Kofi Annan We need to think of the future and the planet we are going to leave to our children and their children.
3 December 2020 Charles de Montesquieu An author is a fool who, not content with boring those he lives with, insists on boring future generations.
3 December 2020 Alfred Russel Wallace If this is not done, future ages will certainly look back upon us as a people so immersed in the pursuit of wealth as to be blind to higher considerations.
3 December 2020 Peter Ustinov I’m convinced there’s a small room in the attic of the Foreign Office where future diplomats are taught to stammer.
3 December 2020 George Burns I look to the future because that’s where I’m going to spend the rest of my life.
3 December 2020 Jacob Bronowski We are all afraid for our confidence, for the future, for the world. That is the nature of the human imagination. Yet every man, every civilization, has gone forward because of its engagement with what it has set itself to do.
3 December 2020 Graham Greene There is always one moment in childhood when the door opens and lets the future in.
3 December 2020 Kalpana Chawla I stopped thinking about it after trying to figure out what are the lessons learned, and there are so many. After I had basically sorted that out, I figured it’s time to really look at the future and not at the past.
3 December 2020 Newt Gingrich My theme is going to be: Together we can win the future. The right policies lead to the right results. And I’m going to argue that President Obama will lose the future because the wrong policies lead to the wrong results.

3 December 2020 Tadao Ando I think of the past and the future as well as the present to determine where I am, and I move on while thinking of these things.
3 December 2020 Joshua Foer Someday in the distant cyborg future, when our internal and external memories fully merge, we may come to possess infinite knowledge. But that’s not the same thing as wisdom.
3 December 2020 Blaise Pascal If we examine our thoughts, we shall find them always occupied with the past and the future.
