The full potentialities of human fury cannot be reached until a friend
of both parties tactfully interferes.
                -- G.K. Chesterton

but to be wrong for more sophisticated reasons.
                -- Dr. David Butler, British psephologist

The future is a myth created by insurance
salesmen and high school counselors.

The future is a race between education and catastrophe.
                -- H.G. Wells

The future isn't what it used to be.  (It never was.)

The future lies ahead.

The future not being born, my friend,
we will abstain from baptizing it.

The garden is in mourning;
The rain falls cool among the flowers.
Summer shivers quietly
On its way towards its end.

Golden leaf after leaf
Falls from the tall acacia.
Summer smiles, astonished, feeble,
In this dying dream of a garden.

For a long while, yet, in the roses,
She will linger on, yearning for peace,
And slowly
Close her weary eyes.
                -- Hermann Hesse, "September"

The genius of our ruling class is that it has kept a majority of the
people from ever questioning the inequity of a system where most people
drudge along paying heavy taxes for which they get nothing in return.
                -- Gore Vidal
