For many people, an excuse is better than an achievement because an achievement, no matter how great, leaves you having to prove yourself again in the future; but an excuse can last for life.
Children are our crop, our fields, our earth. They are birds let loose into darkness. They are errors renewed. Still, they are the only source from which may be drawn a life more successful, more knowing than our own. Somehow they will do one thing, take one step further, they will see the summit. We believe in it, the radiance that streams from the future, from days we will not see. Children must live, must triumph. Children must die; that is an idea we cannot accept.
Invention is the root of innovation. Innovation is the major force for change in the future.
Your circumstances don't dictate your future. . . . Your circumstances don't limit you.
I'd love to do more action stuff, in the future.
Only positive consequences encourage good future performances.

It is the custom to sneer at the modern apartment-house, television, big-city Christmas, with its commercial taint. . . office parties, artificial. . . Christmas trees. . . but future generations in search of their lost Christmases may well remember its innocence; yes, and its beauty, too.
Celebrating the future is about celebrating a better world: a world in which everyone's life is easier and their health is maintained longer. It’ll be a life where there’s more time for leisure - for enriching each other’s lives rather than just running to stand still. In other words, more holiday time! So a holiday is absolutely the appropriate way to help us focus on it and make it a reality soon.
In the future, everybody will be world famous for fifteen minutes.
I think that in the future, clocks won't say three o'clock anymore. They'll just get right to the point and rename three o'clock 'Pepsi.
We have such an amazing future ahead of us.
Your future is co-created out of what you do today. Do you act from fear or faith? You get to choose.
The fossil reserves that have already been discovered exceed what can ever be safely used. Yet companies spend half a trillion dollars each year searching for more fuel. They should redirect this money toward developing clean energy solutions
The past is already past. Don't try to regain it. The present does not stay. Don't try to touch it from moment to moment. The future has not come. Don't think about it beforehand.
