It is very difficult to make an accurate prediction, especially about the future.

Niels Bohr

Prediction is difficult, especially the future.

Niels Bohr

Nobody believes a weather prediction twelve hours ahead. Now we're being asked to believe a prediction that goes out 100 years into the future? And make financial investments based on that prediction? Has everybody lost their minds?

Michael Crichton

Prediction is very hard, particularly when it's about the future.

Yogi Berra

Prediction is difficult- particularly when it involves the future.

Mark Twain

There is no example of someone reading their scripture and saying, 'I have a prediction about the world that no one knows yet, because this gave me insight. Let's go test that prediction,' and have the prediction be correct.

Neil deGrasse Tyson

Nobody wants a prediction that the future will be more or less like the present, even if that is, statistically speaking, an excellent prediction.

Nathan Myhrvold

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

Frank Gohlke

With high hope for the future, no prediction is ventured.

Abraham Lincoln

Hope is not a prediction of the future, it's a declaration of what is possible.

Harbhajan Singh Yogi

I find it very difficult to relate to India's new middle class. This very patriotic and neoliberal group that mixes religion and economics together. I find them very irksome. Very difficult to like. They are privileged, but they don't want to talk about their privilege. It's difficult to find poetry amongst these people. Some sort of hidden spirit of beauty.
