Perfect Future Quotes

#1. Hawthorne ends the story this way: 'He failed to look beyond the shadowy scope of time, and, living once for all in eternity, to find the perfect future in the present. #Quote by William Alexander

#2. And that's how it was. We walked the same way, no more running, no more fear, no more secrets. Just me and her, in sync and together, even though we came from two separate sides of the spectrum. I was her perfect future and she was my perfect love and that was how every good love song should end.
So it ends ... at least for now. #Quote by Jay Crownover

#3. Mistakes I've made in the past make me afraid to try new things in the future. I want to be perfect. #Quote by James Altucher

#4. Seriously, what does having it all even mean? All is subjective. Not every woman's vision of a perfect future looks the same. Not every woman wants kids. Not every woman wants to get married. Not every woman wants a house in the suburbs. Not every woman wants a career. Not every woman is attracted to men in the first place. Why and how did dudes become the key to our Perfect Future? #Quote by Iliza Shlesinger

#5. Some problems aren't fixable, but that doesn't mean you should stop. That sense that you can't move forward ... that's the trap. It's better to take the best future you can manage with what you have, than to put your life on hold trying to fix everything in the hopes of a perfect future that might never come. #Quote by Annette Marie

#6. I love you. I know the real you too. You think I don't but how easily you forget I was the one who bailed you out of trouble over and over again as kids. I didn't ask the perfect Ashton to be my girlfriend when I was fourteen years old. I asked the only Ash I'd ever known. You changed all on your own. I'm not going to lie. I was proud of the girl you had become. My world was complete. I had the perfect family, perfect girl, perfect future. I let myself forget the other girl you once were. #Quote by Abbi Glines

#7. American Baseball

It's for real, not for practice, and it's televised,
not secret, the way you'd expect a civilized country
to handle delicate things, it's in color, it's happening
now in Florida, "This Is American Baseball" the announcer
announces as the batter enters the box, we are watching,
and it could be either of us

standing there waiting
for the pitch, avoiding the eye of the pitcher as we take
a few practice cuts, turning to him and his tiny friends in
the outfield, facing the situation, knowing that someone
behind our backs is making terrible gestures, standing
there to swing and miss

the way I miss you, wanting to be out
of uniform, out of breath, in your car, in love again, learning
all the signals for the first time, they way we learned the rules
of night baseball as high-school freshman: first base, you kiss
her, second base, her breasts, third, you're in her pants, and
home is where the heart

wants to be all the time, but seldom
can reach past the obstacle course of space, the home in our
perfect future we wanted so badly, and want more than ever since
we learned we won't live there, which happens to lovers in civilized
countries all the time, and happens too in American baseball when
you strike out and remember what the game really meant. #Quote by Tim Dlugos

#8. The past is always tense, the future perfect. #Quote by Zadie Smith

#9. In my view, the most damaging evils that are perpetrated upon us are through some abstract notion about good, where we're willing to sacrifice individuals in the present for some great vision of an improved or perfect future. #Quote by Gregory Stock

#10. School is practice for future life, practice makes perfect and nobody's perfect, so why practice? #Quote by Billie Joe Armstrong

#11. We all believe we have found the finest of diktat that applies our perfect future, but do we believe the world needs referees. #Quote by Rudolf Hess

#12. The future that we want - this is it. This is the future of all the previous thoughts you've ever had about the future. You're in it. You're already in it. What is the purpose of all this living if it's only to get some place else and then when you're there you're not happy anyway, you want to be some place else. It's always for 'when I retire,' 'when I graduate college,' 'when I make enough money,' 'when I get married,' 'when I get divorced,' 'when the kids move out.' It's like, wait a minute, this is it. This is your life. We only have moments. This moment's as good as any other. It's perfect. #Quote by Jon Kabat-Zinn

#13. I raised my wine glass to him and sipped a toast to the future, to what lay ahead. #Quote by Elizabeth Haynes

#14. It is also a terrifying prospect: that the relationships we use as the cornerstones of our personalities are not given by default but are a choice; that it's all right to feel closer to a friend than we do to a parent; that someone who's betrayed us in the past might be the same person with whom we build a future. I #Quote by Jodi Picoult

#15. And as paralyzing and upsetting as all the never agains were, the final leaving felt perfect. Pure. The most distilled possible form of liberation. #Quote by John Green

#16. She knew she was lovely, and she shared it like a gift. Every smile from Agatha was like waking up to a perfect sunny day. Agatha knew it. And she smiled at everyone who crossed her path, as if it were the most generous thing she could offer. #Quote by Rainbow Rowell

#17. Selecting the right college to attend is an investment into a young man or woman's future, it's not just about basketball. #Quote by Billy Kennedy

#18. A great relationship was when someone accepted your past, supported your present, and encouraged your future. #Quote by Eric Jerome Dickey

#19. That rough-looking diamond is put upon the wheel of the lapidary. He cuts it on all sides. It loses much
much that seemed costly to itself. The king is crowned; the diadem is put upon the monarch's head with trumpet's joyful sound. A glittering ray flashes from that coronet, and it beams from that very diamond which was just now so sorely vexed by the lapidary. You may venture to compare yourself to such a diamond, for you are one of God's people; and this is the time of the cutting process. Let faith and patience have their perfect work, for in the day when the crown shall be set upon the head of the King, Eternal, Immortal, Invisible, one ray of glory shall stream from you. "They shall be mine," saith the Lord, "in the day when I make up my jewels." "Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof. #Quote by Charles Haddon Spurgeon

#20. Let me also remind you that zero, like all of mathematics, is fictional and an idealization. It is impossible to reach absolute zero temperature or to get perfect vacuum. Luckily, mathematics is a fairyland where ideal and fictional objects are possible. #Quote by Doron Zeilberger

#21. If we could build an economy that would use things rather than use them up, we could build a future. #Quote by Ellen MacArthur

#22. Damn them all, my love. Your future is your own. Destiny is for the weak. The strong make their own futures, and you were born with a sword for a spine. #Quote by R.L. Martinez

#23. The global work of the United Nations is not without reason compared to that of a family - striving for a common goal in concert with all members for a better future. #Quote by Kofi Annan

#24. Samson's story shows us a profound truth of Christianity: ours is a progress from strength to weakness, not weakness to strength. It is when Samson is at his weakest that he is most powerfully used. Samson ends his life blind and in chains. He is weak. So are we. God promises, in His Son, to perfect His power in our powerlessness (2 Cor. 12:9). So we can own our weakness. We'll find God's strength in it. #Quote by Tullian Tchividjian

#25. I nodded, mollified. "Okay, I can roll with that. And then after that, I suppose it's just a matter of time until we're taking the kids to soccer practice."
Her eyebrows rose. "Kids?"
"Relax, it's years away. But can you imagine? Your brains, my charm, our collective good looks . . . then add in the usual physical abilities dhampirs get." She looked more amused than appalled at the speculation, which was something I'd never thought I'd see. "It's really not even fair to everyone else. Good thing you're on birth control, since the world obviously isn't ready for our perfect offspring." "Obviously," she laughed. #Quote by Richelle Mead

#26. Someone once told me love isn't perfect - or predictable. #Quote by Lauren Morrill

#27. If the rowan's roots are shallow, it bears no crown. #Quote by Ursula K. Le Guin

#28. Man will ever remain imperfect, and it will always be his part to try to be perfect. #Quote by Mahatma Gandhi

#29. It was perfect. She was perfect. And I was the luckiest guy. #Quote by Jennifer L. Armentrout

#30. A sense of the past is far more basic to the maintenance of freedom than hope for the future. The former is concrete and real; the latter is necessarily amorphous and more easily guided by those who can manipulate human actions and beliefs. #Quote by Robert A. Nisbet

#31. The perfect life, the perfect lie … is one which prevents you from doing that which you would ideally have done (painted, say, or written unpublishable poetry) but which, in fact, you have no wish to do. People need to feel that they have been thwarted by circumstances from pursuing the life which, had they led it, they would not have wanted; whereas the life they really want is precisely a compound of all those thwarting circumstances. It is a very elaborate, extremely simple procedure, arranging this web of self-deceit: contriving to convince yourself that you were prevented from doing what you wanted. Most people don't want what they want: people want to be prevented, restricted. The hamster not only loves his cage, he'd be lost without it. That's why children are so convenient: you have children because you're struggling to get by as an artist - which is actually what being an artist means - or failing to get on with your career. Then you can persuade yourself that your children prevented you from having this career that had never looked like working out. So it goes on: things are always forsaken in the name of an obligation to someone else, never as a failing, a falling short of yourself. #Quote by Geoff Dyer

#32. I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the community, and as long as I live, it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can. I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work, the more I live. Life is no 'brief candle' to me. It ia a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for a moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to the future generations. #Quote by George Bernard Shaw

#33. She managed to look like a perfect, pissed-off Alchemist. Now I wanted to kiss her more than ever. #Quote by Richelle Mead

#34. I practice more than ever ... mostly scales and arpeggios ... and anything I can't do ... #Quote by Julian Bream

#35. Life lived for tomorrow will always be just a day away from being realized. #Quote by Leo Buscaglia

#36. I try to write characters that are normal, believable people with a unique sense of humor. I like characters that aren't necessarily society's idea of "perfect". I wanted to make characters that were more real. I want my potential readers to see that beauty comes in all shapes and sizes. I want them, especially the girls, to realize that whatever you look like, whether you're chubby or skinny, dark haired or blonde, popular or the school outcast, that everyone deserves to be loved. And that if you look hard enough, there's someone out there waiting just for you. #Quote by Taylor Fenner

#37. We may not be perfect, but we're good, and good people can't imagine evil. It catches us by surprise, and it always will. We don't know the first thing about the kind of evil that would sacrifice a child. #Quote by Lisa Scottoline

#38. Our hearts will be broken a thousand times over, but who is to say that our hearts were ever perfect to begin with? Maybe they can withstand a few cracks. After all, the way that we love is not perfect. We love things to such an incomprehensible depth that these things become worn in. Wouldn't the most beautiful thing in the world be a heart that has been through all of the wear and tear, as worn in as your favorite sweater that both keeps you warm and grants you a smile in return? That's the kind of heart that I want. Bruises make for beautiful colors after all. #Quote by Elizabeth Brooks

#39. No action in the present is an action planned with a view of its effect on the future. When the future, bearing its own events, arrives, its ancestry is then traced in a trancelike retrospect, at the end of which, their mouths and eyes wide with their astonishment, the people in a small place reveal themselves to be like children being shown the secrets of a magic trick. #Quote by Jamaica Kincaid

#40. In fairy tales they all seem perfect, but really they are just as troubled as we are! #Quote by Teal Vitler

#41. For over 200 years this has been a special country. A unique place where anyone from anywhere can achieve anything. But now millions of Americans feel like they're being left behind. Insecure in their future and unsafe in the face of terrorism. #Quote by Marco Rubio

#42. When the people become involved in their government, government becomes more accountable, and our society is stronger, more compassionate, and better prepared for the challenges of the future. #Quote by Arnold Schwarzenegger

#43. I seemed to recall a party when I was five, complete with scary clowns and pony rides. Maybe it was the clowns that ruined me for all future birthdays. Because those fuckers are scary. #Quote by A. Meredith Walters

#44. The Russian proposal over Iran's uranium enrichment program is considerable, but it has some problems and ambiguities to be clarified in future talks. #Quote by Ali Larijani

#45. I am female. I was born that way. I have had those feelings...those longings...all of my life. It is not unnatural. I am not sick because I feel this way. I do not need to be helped. I do not need to be cured. What I need, and what all of those who are like me need, is your understanding and your compassion. We have not injured you in any way, and yet we are scorned and attacked. And all because we are different. What we do is no different from what you do. We talk, and laugh. We complain about work, and we wonder about growing old. We talk about our families and we worry about the future. And we cry with each other when things seem hopeless. All of the loving things that you do with each other-- that is what we do. And for that we are called misfits, and deviants, and criminals. What right do you have to punish us? What right do you have to change us? What makes you think you can dictate how people love each other? #Quote by Soren

#46. Our current society is designed to achieve growth of industrial output and redistributing its
spoils. Future society must expand upon today's society's way of functioning; its institutions must be geared towards achieving more psychological goals. More goals of the soul. #Quote by Hanzi Freinacht

#47. The theory is that immersion in the history of one's own group will overcome feelings of racial inferiority both by instilling pride in past ethnic accomplishments and by providing ethnic role models to inspire future performance. Telling black children how marvelous old Africa was will make them work harder and do better. But does study of the glory that was Greece and the grandeur that was Rome improve the academic record of Greek-American and Italian-American children? Not so that anyone has noticed. Why is it likely to help black children, who are removed from their geographical origins not by 50 years but by 300? #Quote by Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr.

#48. If you assume continuity, you can open the well-stocked mathematical toolkit of continuous functions and differential equations, the saws and hammers of engineering and physics for the past two centuries (and the foreseeable future). #Quote by Benoit Mandelbrot

#49. To make any future that we dreamt up real requires creative scientists, engineers, and technologists to make it happen. If people are not within your midst who dream about tomorrow - with the capacity to bring tomorrow into the present - then the country might as well just recede back into the cave because that's where we're headed. #Quote by Neil DeGrasse Tyson

#50. The past cannot be change,
The future is still in your power. #Quote by Hugh White

#51. Perfection is no different. If you seek your perfection in the Hands of the one who made you, He'll put you on a perfect path for you. Perfection isn't living a mistake free life, it's learning from those mistakes, those layers, to create the best you, a perfect you. #Quote by Trent Shelton

#52. Regardless of what people say, that's what they gotta bang in their heads: Ace Hood is the future. You ain't got nobody else in my lane. #Quote by Ace Hood

#53. It is better to work in an honest way.
Similarly, we can build a good future. #Quote by Jan Jansen Easy Branches

#54. The most successful are not the most perfect, but the imperfect who dare to believe that they can despite the damning verdict. #Quote by Bangambiki Habyarimana

#55. Don't tell me what I do and don't deserve. Don't tell me about tomorrow, or the future, or any of it. #Quote by Sarah J. Maas

#56. Performing arts buildings are complex. The acoustics, the sight lines and all that have to just be perfect. So you begin with just making these things sublime as musical instruments. And if you fail there, you have failed it all. #Quote by Moshe Safdie

#57. To speak in literature with the perfect rectitude and insouciance of the movements of animals and the unimpeachable of the sentiment of trees in the woods and grass by the roadside is the flawless triumph of art. #Quote by Walt Whitman
