Notwithstanding, therefore, that we have not witnessed of a large continent, yet, as we may predict the future occurrence of such catastrophes, we are authorized to regard them as part of the present order of Nature.

Charles Lyell

You can never predict success. You can never predict another person liking what you are doing. But if you are an interesting storyteller and if you strike the right chord, perhaps you will be understood.

Sudha Kongara

The important thing to remember is war does not progress linearly. The future course of events is going to be very difficult to predict with a high degree of precision.

H. R. McMaster

What is revolutionary today is that we're using precision-guided munitions. And instead of building individual weapons, we are building an industry and a philosophy, the culture of precision. You saw Desert Storm. Precision works.

George Friedman

Mass killings have gone from being an extremely rare occurrence to a common occurrence.

Joyce Beatty

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

We know from chaos theory that even if you had a perfect model of the world, you'd need infinite precision in order to predict future events. With sociopolitical or economic phenomena, we don't have anything like that.

Nassim Nicholas Taleb

The physical laws, in their observable consequences, have a finite limit of precision.

Kurt Gödel

But the individual butterfly or earthquake remains just the unique existence which it is. We forget in explaining its occurrence that it is only the occurrence that is explained, not the thing itself.

John Dewey

Forgetfulness transforms every occurrence into a non-occurrence.

Plutarch

You can't predict what's gonna happen, you can't predict if people are going to participate, you can't predict if there'll be interference.

Pedro Pascal

Even if someone knew the entire physical history of the world, and every mental event were identical with a physical, it would notfollow that he could predict or explain a single mental event (so described, of course).

Donald Davidson

Musical harmony is based on physical principles, while in cooking, ingredients must be weighed out with precision. At the same time, you have to be able to invent because if one follows the same recipe all the time, you never create anything new.

Fabiola Gianotti

In physics, all can you do is predict the consequences of physical laws.

Leonard Mlodinow

If the chain symmetry is maintained in the crystal lattice, the possible occurrence of different space groups is considerably restricted.

Giulio Natta

I've learned that you can never predict what will happen to a film. You can never predict if people will love it, if they'll hate it. It's an act of ego if you're hoping for everyone to love the film and tell you how great you are.

James Gray
