• Religion was nearly dead because there was no longer real belief in future life; but something was struggling to take its place -- service -- social service -- the ants creed, the bees creed. (John Galsworthy) [religion/future/life/take]
• If you do not think about the future, you cannot have one. (John Galsworthy) [think/future]
• We must welcome the future, remembering that soon it will be the past; and we must respect the past, remembering that it was once all that was humanly possible. (George Santayana) [future/willpower/past/respect]

• There is not any present moment that is unconnected with some future one. The life of every man is a continued chain of incidents, each link of which hangs upon the former. The transition from cause to effect, from event to event, is often carried on by secret steps, which our foresight cannot divine, and our sagacity is unable to trace. Evil may at some future period bring forth good; and good may bring forth evil, both equally unexpected. (Joseph Addison) [present/moment/future/life]
• Predictions of the future are never anything but projections of present automatic processes and procedures, that is, of occurrences that are likely to come to pass if men do not act and if nothing unexpected happens; every action, for better or worse, and every accident necessarily destroys the whole pattern in whose frame the prediction moves and where it finds its evidence. (Hannah Arendt) [future/present/men/action]
• Promises are the uniquely human way of ordering the future, making it predictable and reliable to the extent that this is humanly possible. (Hannah Arendt) [promises/human/future]

• Every great work of art has two faces, one toward its own time and one toward the future, toward eternity. (Daniel Barenboim) [art/time/future]
• When we borrow trouble, and look forward into the future and see what storms are coming, and distress ourselves before they come, as to how we shall avert them if they ever do come, we lose our proper trustfulness in God. When we torment ourselves with imaginary dangers, or trials, or reverses, we have already parted with that perfect love which casteth out fear. (Henry Ward Beecher) [look/future/god/perfect]
• He who asks fortune-tellers the future unwittingly forfeits an inner intimation of coming events that is a thousand times more exact than anything they may say. He is impelled by inertia, rather than curiosity, and nothing is more unlike the submissive apathy with which he hears his fate revealed than the alert dexterity with which the man of courage lays hands on the future. (Walter Benjamin) [future/more/curiosity/more]
• The future destiny of the child is always the work of the mother. ( Napoleon I) [future/child/mother]
• Our lives as we lead them as passed on to others, whether in physical or mental forms, tingeing all future lives together. This should be enough for one who lives for truth and service to his fellow passengers on the way. (Luther Burbank) [future/truth/service]
• You can never plan the future by the past. (Edmund Burke) [future/past]
• Set your sights high, the higher the better. Expect the most wonderful things to happen, not in the future but right now. Realize that nothing is to good. Allow absolutely nothing to hamper you or hold you up in any way. (Eileen Caddy) [high/future/right]
• Real generosity toward the future lies in giving all to the present. (Albert Camus) [future/present]

• The distinction between the past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion. (Albert Einstein) [past/present/future]
