FUTURE

Look straight ahead, and fix your eyes on what lies before you. Mark out a straight path for your feet; then stick to the path and stay safe. Don’t get sidetracked; keep your feet from following evil.

Proverbs 4:25–27

Do not fret because of evildoers; don’t envy the wicked. For the evil have no future; their light will be snuffed out.

Proverbs 24:19–20

Always continue to fear the Lord. For surely you have a future ahead of you; your hope will not be disappointed.

Proverbs 23:17–18

The future is history to God, for he is omniscient.

He who provides for this life, but takes no care for eternity, is wise for a moment, but a fool forever.

John Tillotson

Perhaps the best thing about the future is that it comes just one day at a time.

I’ve Found Today

I’ve shut the door on Yesterday,

Its sorrows and mistakes;

I’ve locked within its gloomy walls

Past failures and heartaches.

And now I throw the key away

To seek another room,

And furnish it with hope and smiles

And every springtime bloom.

No thought shall enter this abode

That has a hint of pain,

And worry, malice and distrust

Shall never therein reign.

I’ve shut the door on Yesterday

And thrown the key away—

The Future holds no doubt for me,

Since I have found Today.

There is nothing like a dream to create the future.

Victor Hugo

The trouble with our times is that the future is not what it used to be.

Paul Valery

If we open a quarrel between the past and the present, we shall find that we have lost the future.

Winston Churchill
