You can't really predict the future. All you can do is invent it.

Frederik Pohl

The best way to predict the future is to invent it.

Alan Kay

It's easier to invent the future than to predict it.

Alan Kay

Don't worry about what anybody else is going to do. The best way to predict the future is to invent it.

Alan Kay

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

If we have an atom that is in an excited state and so is going to emit a photon, we cannot say when it will emit the photon. It has a certain amplitude to emit the photon at any time, and we can predict only a probability for emission; we cannot predict the future exactly.

Richard P. Feynman

You cannot carry out fundamental change without a certain amount of madness. In this case, it comes from nonconformity, the courage to turn your back on the old formulas, the courage to invent the future. It took the madmen of yesterday for us to be able to act with extreme clarity today. I want to be one of those madmen. We must dare to invent the future.

Thomas Sankara

You cannot predict the future.

Stephen Hawking

You cannot predict the future, but you can create it.

Peter Drucker

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

I don't make plans for my future. I have learned that you cannot predict what will happen.

Samir Nasri

While we cannot predict the future, we will most surely live it. Every action and decision we take - or don't - ripples into the future. For the first time, we have the capability, the technology, and the knowledge to direct those ripples.

Jacque Fresco

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

What I have figured out is that I can predict the future. I just can't predict when.

Steve Case

Things happen in a way that surprises. That's why I'm reluctant to predict. You cannot predict.

Amira Hass

When you invent the ship, you also invent the shipwreck; when you invent the plane you also invent the plane crash; and when you invent electricity, you invent electrocution...Every technology carries its own negativity, which is invented at the same time as technical progress.

Paul Virilio
