Famous quotes containing the words future and/or importance:

    “One merit in Carlyle, let the subject be what it may, is the freedom of prospect he allows, the entire absence of cant and dogma. He removes many cartloads of rubbish, and leaves open a broad highway. His writings are all unfenced on the side of the future and the possible. Though he does but inadvertently direct our eyes to the open heavens, nevertheless he lets us wander broadly underneath, and shows them to us reflected in innumerable pools and lakes.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “... women especially seem to have very little idea of the importance of business time.”
    —Caroline Nichols Churchill (1833–?)
