  • The brilliant creative core of capitalism ... is the story the entrepreneurs and capital investors tell themselves about the future. How they intend to alter it, what they expect to gain in return, where they will raise the capital to accomplish their vision. Many of their stories turn out to be flawed or mistaken, of course, but the capacity to envision a set of future events and then act to fulfill them is a central source of capitalism's strength and its dominance of society.

    William Greider (2003). “The Soul of Capitalism: Opening Paths to a Moral Economy”, p.311, Simon and Schuster
  • Direct interference in a person's life does not enter our scope of activity, nor, on the other, tralatitiously speaking, hand, is his destiny a chain of predeterminate links: some 'future' events may be linked to others, O.K., but all are chimeric, and every cause-and-effect sequence is always a hit-and-miss affair, even if the lunette has actually closed around your neck, and the cretinous crowd holds its breath.

    Destiny   Hands   Missing  
    Vladimir Vladimirovich Nabokov (1972). “Transparent things: a novel”, McGraw-Hill Companies
  • The "second sight" possessed by the Highlanders in Scotland is actually a foreknowledge of future events. I believe they possess this gift because they don't wear trousers.

  • The mind that is anxious about future events is miserable.

  • A handy short definition of almost all science fiction might read: realistic speculation about possible future events, based solidly on adequate knowledge of the real world, past and present, and on a thorough understanding of the nature and significance of the scientific method.

  • This is not remarkable, for, as we know, reality is not a function of the event as event, but of the relationship of that event to past, and future, events. We seem here to have a paradox: that the reality of an event, which is not real in itself, arises from the other events which, likewise, in themselves are not real. But this only affirms what we must affirm: that direction is all. And only as we realize this do we live, for our own identity is dependent upon this principal.

    Real   Past   Identity  
    Robert Penn Warren (2006). “All the King's Men”, p.578, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt

    Jillian Michaels (2011). “Unlimited: A Three-Step Plan for Achieving Your Dreams”, p.52, Harmony

    Men   Discovery   Causes  
    Laurence J. Peter (1972). “The Peter prescription: how to be creative, confident & competent”
  • If you believe that feeling bad or worrying long enough will change a past or future event, then you are residing on another planet with a different reality system.

  • It is almost always impossible to evaluate at the time events which you have already experienced, and to understand their meaning with the guidance of their effects. All the more unpredictable and surprising to us will be the course of future events.

    "Alexandr Solzhenitsyn - Biographical". "Nobel Lectures, Literature 1968-1980", edited by Tore Frängsmyr, Editor Sture Allén, World Scientific Publishing Co., Singapore, www.nobelprize.org. 1993.
  • It is not enough for [the investor] to know all the factors that can possibly contribute to the determination of a future event. In order to anticipate correctly they must also anticipate correctly the quantity as it were of each factor's contribution and the instant at which its contribution will become effective.

  • It would be stupid of me to rule out ever being the leader because that's an impossible thing to rule out. I can't predict future events.

  • "Risk means more things can happen than will happen." It is not standard deviation. It is not variability. It is this sense that the future events are highly variable and unknowable that gives us the best sense for risk.

  • The fact that laws were given to man, both affirmative and negative, supports the principle, that God's knowledge of future events does not change their character. The great doubt that presents itself to our mind is the result of the insufficiency of our intellect.

    Moses Maimonides (2016). “Guide for the perplexed”, p.1116, Moses Maimonides
  • We can learn from history how past generations thought and acted, how they responded to the demands of their time and how they solved their problems. We can learn by analogy, not by example, for our circumstances will always be different than theirs were. The main thing history can teach us is that human actions have consequences and that certain choices, once made, cannot be undone. They foreclose the possibility of making other choices and thus they determine future events.

    Gerda Lerner (1998). “Why History Matters: Life and Thought”, p.205, Oxford University Press on Demand
  • That's the great danger of sectarian opinions, they always accept the formulas of past events as useful for the measurement of future events and they never are, if you have high standards of accuracy.

  • It seems to me then as if all the moments of our life occupy the same space, as if future events already existed and were only waiting for us to find our way to them at last, just as when we have accepted an invitation we duly arrive in a certain house at a given time.

    Space   House   Waiting  
    W. G. Sebald (2013). “Austerlitz”, p.158, Penguin UK
  • We live in reference to past experience and not to future events, however inevitable.

I tell you that there is trouble coming upon the world.
