You don't need to predict the future. Just choose a future -- a good future, a useful future -- and make the kind of prediction that will alter human emotions and reactions in such a way that the future you predicted will be brought about. Better to make a good future than predict a bad one.

Isaac Asimov

It is only by reflecting on the past that one can create a better future.

Rithy Panh

You have to look at the past in order to learn from it and move on. I've done a lot of reflecting over the past year. And certainly, I've turned the corner and am looking more toward the future in a lot of ways.

Tiger Woods

When you try to predict future E.R.A.'s with past E.R.A.'s, you're making a mistake.

Nate Silver

If every song is in the past tense, that's a drag, so you have to predict the future.

Ry Cooder

The best way to predict the future is to study the past, or prognosticate.

Robert Kiyosaki

All too often, schools resemble museums, reflecting the past rather than shaping the future

Max Tegmark

Forget the past. You can never predict what the future is going to be. Live for the moment.

Nicole Kidman

The past is an interpretation. The future is on illusion. The world does not move through time as if it were a straight line, proceeding from the past to the future. Instead, time moves through and within us, in endless spirals. Eternity does not mean infinite time, but simply timelessness. If you want to experience eternal illumination, put the past and the future out of your mind and remain within the present moment.

Shams Tabrizi

The illusion that we understand the past fosters overconfidence in our ability to predict the future.

Daniel Kahneman

In the future, instead of striving to be right at a high cost, it will be more appropriate to be flexible and plural at a lower cost. If you cannot accurately predict the future then you must flexibly be prepared to deal with various possible futures.

Edward de Bono

I don't think there is such a thing as as a real prophet. You can never predict the future. We know why now, of course; chaos theory, which I got very interested in, shows you can never predict the future.

Arthur C. Clarke

Not only can no one predict the future, we don't understand the present - and there isn't even any certainty about the past.

Harry Browne

Postulate 1. All chance systems of causes are not alike in the sense that they enable us to predict the future in terms of the past.

Walter A. Shewhart

While politicians may be forgiven for failing to predict the future - who can, alas? - it is amazing that they defiantly ignore the past.

Michael Korda

Biology has tended to be an observational science and deriving things from first principles has not been possible in the past but I hate to predict the future on that.
