Prediction is very hard, particularly when it's about the future.
Yogi Berra
Image
Prediction from a grown-up: Your future is going to be amazing. You will surprise yourself with what you're capable of and the incredible things you go on to do. Find the people who love and believe in you - there will be lots of them.
Hillary Clinton
Image
Prediction is not just one of the things your brain does. It is the primary function of the neo-cortex, and the foundation of intelligence.
Jeff Hawkins
Image
Prediction is difficult- particularly when it involves the future.
Mark Twain
Image
Predictions are uttered by prophets (free of charge) by clairvoyants (who usually charge a fee, and are therefore more honored in their day than prophets) and by futurologists (salaried). Prediction is the business of prophets, clairvoyants, and futurologists. It is not the business of novelists. A novelist's business is lying.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Image
Prediction, not narration, is the real test of our understanding of the world.
Nassim Nicholas Taleb

Whatever happens, happens. I can't give you a prediction because Jim (Irsay) and I will sit down at some point and he'll get a feel for where I am and I’ll get a sense of what direction he wants to go. Right now, I have no idea.

The past is democratic, because it is a people. The future is despotic, because it is a caprice. Every man is alone in his prediction, just as each man is alone in a dream.
Gilbert K. Chesterton

Quantification, experimentation, rigor, repetition, prediction - all of these are part of the experimental sciences. There's an iconography also namely man, and I do mean males in white coats who spin dials and wait for numbers to appear.
Richard Lewontin
Image
Our spiritual life is a life in which we wait, actively present to the moment, expecting that new things will happen to us, new things that are far beyond our own imagination or prediction. This, indeed, is a very radical stance toward life in a world preoccupied with control.
Henri Nouwen
Image
With high hope for the future, no prediction is ventured.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I think political science is bad at prediction. We don't gaze into a crystal ball. I do not believe that we predict things.
Ian Bremmer
Image
For me to sit down here, even as a Nobel Laureate and make a prediction about which science I think that will be a mistake.
Ahmed H. Zewail
Image
I don't give a score prediction, but I am a defensive guy, so I'll definitely be looking forward to a defensive game.
J. J. Watt
Image
When the number of factors coming into play in a phenomenological complex is too large scientific method in most cases fails. One need only think of the weather, in which case the prediction even for a few days ahead is impossible.
Albert Einstein
Image
Any astronomer can predict with absolute accuracy just where every star in the universe will be at 11.30 tonight. He can make no such prediction about his teenage daughter.
James Truslow Adams
Image
When I was in my teens, I made an appraisal of how comfortable my life could turn out when I became the age I am now. Because of a mechanical failure, the prediction was inexact.
Arthur Nersesian
Image
A mathematician is an individual who believes that prophesying that his dog will die if he deprives it of food constitutes a prediction.
Bill Gaede
Image
It does not matter who you are, or how smart you are, or what title you have, or how many of you there are, and certainly not how many papers your side has published, if your prediction is wrong then your hypothesis is wrong. Period.
Richard P. Feynman
Image
A plan is an example of what could happen, not a prediction of what will happen.
Kent Beck
Image
The groundhog is like most other prophets it delivers its prediction and then disappears.
Bill Vaughan
Image
If belief in the existence of God is predicted to lead to a feeling of contentment, and the prediction is fulfilled, does it follow that God exists? Surely not. All that would follow would be the desireability of the belief.
