The most prevalent opinion among our so confused contemporaries seems to be that tomorrow will be wonderful-that is, unless it is indescribably terrible, or unless indeed there just isn't any.

Life is an irreversible process and for that reason its future can never be a repetition of the past.

We are never present with, but always beyond ourselves; fear, desire, hope, still push us on toward the future.

O that a man might know The end of this day's business ere it come!

We know what we are, but know not what we may be.

What men have seen they know; But what shall come hereafter No man before the event can see, Nor what end waits for him.
