People talk about doom-laden scenarios happening in the future: they are happening in Africa now. You can see it perfectly clearly. Periodic famines are due to too many people living on land that can't sustain them.

My future's about trying to be a better man.

I'm sure that there are reasonable people that had some reasonable projections about the future of New Orleans but none of those could include not trying to rebuild the city and make it better than it was before.

The best thing about the future is that it comes only one day at a time.

Traditionalists are pessimists about the future and optimists about the past.

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.

Frontiersmen good and bad gunmen as well as inspired prophets of the future have been my camp companions. Thus I know the country of which I am about to write as few men now living have known it.

After the Berlin Wall came down I visited that city and I will never forget it. The abandoned checkpoints. The sense of excitement about the future. The knowledge that a great continent was coming together. Healing those wounds of our history is the central story of the European Union.

When I wonder what the future of books will be I often think about horses. Before automobiles existed everyone had a horse. Then cars became available and their convenience compared to horses was undeniable.

My philosophy is to take one day at a time. I don't worry about the future. Tomorrow is even out of sight for me.

Something I've realized lately to my shock is that I am an optimist in that I think humans are almost infinitely capable of self-change and self-modification and that we really can build the future that we want if we're smart about it.

I'm substantially concerned about the policy directions of the space agency. We have a situation in the U.S. where the White House and Congress are at odds over what the future direction should be. They're sort of playing a game and NASA is the shuttlecock that they're hitting back and forth.

Knowledge about the economy ideas about capitalism and government the future of the world and geopolitics were things I was never really interested in.

I found when I left that there were others who felt the same way. We'd meet they'd come and seek me out we'd talk about the future. And I found that their depression and pessimism was every bit as acute as mine.

People like us are afraid to leave ball. What else is there to do? When baseball has been your whole life you can't think about a future without it so you hang on as long as you can.

The perennial conviction that those who work hard and play by the rules will be rewarded with a more comfortable present and a stronger future for their children faces assault from just about every direction. That great enemy of democratic capitalism economic inequality is real and growing.

I said peace is sometimes narrowly interpreted it's the absence of conflict between nations or something. But peace is more inherent more basic to human life human beings what we feel about each other what we feel about life around us and what we see in our future.

What I'm concerned about is endless borrowing which is going to compromise our economy not only today but in the future. Because we know the decisions we make right now really dramatically impact us in the future and the debt is literally getting out of our control.

The future is the worst thing about the present.

I'm not sitting dwelling about the past or stressing or fretting about something in the future.

Forget the past - the future will give you plenty to worry about.

We should all be concerned about the future because we will have to spend the rest of our lives there.

I'm always thinking about creating. My future starts when I wake up every morning... Every day I find something creative to do with my life.

Most people should be talking about how Floyd Mayweather is a great undefeated future Hall of Famer that's his own promoter and that works extremely hard to get to where he's at. Instead all you hear is hate and jealous remarks from critics who criticize me and you know most of the time the people that criticize me can't do what I can do.
