The past attracts me, the present frightens me, because the future is death.
-Guy De Maupassant
Quotations
Future
The entire past of a person is like a dustbin. Whenever one puts his hand in and
tries to take anything out, no matter what it is, it will surely stink. Similarly, all his
aspirations for future resemble the desire to fly like a bird, whenever he will try,
he is bound to fall hard and hit the ground.
-Deep Trivedi
After all, tomorrow is another day!
-Margaret Mitchell
"Gone With the Wind"
Let us not look back in anger, nor forward in fear, but around in awareness.
-James Thurber
Stay on top of your past so you can have a better view of your future.
-Dodinsky
How am I going to live today in order to create the tomorrow I'm committed to?
-Anthony "Tony" Robbins
Forethought we may have, undoubtedly, but not foresight.
-Napoleon Bonaparte
If we open a quarrel between past and present, we shall find that we have lost the future.
-Winston S. Churchill
Tomorrow I may see (or be persuaded of) errors in my present thinking, but today I have to do the best I can.
-Francis Crick
"Astonishing Hypothesis: The Scientific Search for the Soul"
The reason people find it so hard to be happy is that they always see the past better than it was, the present worse than it is, and the future less resolved than it will be.
-Marcel Pagnol
