-Marcel Pagnol
Quotations
Future
One today is worth two tomorrows.
-Benjamin Franklin
I believe the future is only the past again, entered through another gate.
-Arthur Wing Pinero
"The Second Mrs. Tanqueray"
A preoccupation with the future not only prevents us from seeing the present as it is but often prompts us to rearrange the past.
-Eric Hoffer
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
And in today already walks tomorrow.
-Samuel Taylor Coleridge
People were always getting ready for tomorrow.
I didn’t believe in that.
Tomorrow wasn’t getting ready for them.
It didn’t even know they were there.
-Cormac McCarthy
"The Road"
How am I going to live today in order to create the tomorrow I'm committed to?
-Anthony "Tony" Robbins
The past is a source of knowledge, and the future is a source of hope. Love of the past implies faith in the future.
-Stephen E. Ambrose
In the future everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes.
-Andy Warhol
