Laozi political-languagefuturepast I felt the strange brooding lonely presence of Nature fostering a new race, a new age, and as part of it, a new expression in Art. It was an unfolding of the heart itself through the effect of environment, of people, of place, and time. Lawren Harris futurelonelyart Workers must root out the idea that by keeping the results of their labors to themselves a fortune will be assured to them. Patent fees are so much wasted money. The flying machine of the future will not be born fully fledged and capable of a flight for 1,000 miles or so. Like everything else it must be evolved gradually. The first difficulty is to get a thing that will fly at all. When this is made, a full description should be published as an aid to others. Excellence of design and workmanship will always defy competition. Lawrence Hargrave futurescienceideas We respect the dignity and the rights of every man and every nation.

Lech Walesa futurerespectmean To place a man in a multi-stage rocket and project him into the controlling gravitational field of the moon where the passengers can make scientific observations, perhaps land alive, and then return to earth - all that constitutes a wild dream worthy of Jules Verne.

The future is not a discovery. The future is not a destiny. The future is a decision, an intervention.

The future is a reality that is coming to pass with each passing day, with each passing decision. Leonard Sweet futuretechnologyreality The world is a sacred vessel. It should not be meddled with.
