Prediction is very difficult, especially if it's about the future.
Niels Bohr
Image
Prediction, not narration, is the real test of our understanding of the world.
Nassim Nicholas Taleb
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

Prediction is a very difficult business, particularly about the future
Fred Singer

Prediction is very hard, particularly when it's about the future.
Yogi Berra

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

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
One of the marvels of personality is its resistance to prediction. One man's paralyzing trauma is another man's invitation to take control of his life one woman's grounds for insanity is another woman's ground to a dramatic shaping of self.
Rosellen Brown
Image
There is no greater prediction in the research of our levels of happiness than the breadth and depth of our relationships.
Michelle Gielan
Image
One may say that predictions are dangerous particularly for the future. If the danger involved in a prediction is not incurred, no consequence follows and the uncertainty principle is not violated.
Edward Teller
Image
In reality, no one knows what the market will do trying to predict it is a waste of time, and investing based upon that prediction is a speculative undertaking.
Seth Klarman
Image
It's extremely hard to know what the economic consequences of any decision will be. And I'm not a, a, a financial analyst, so I, I generally don't try to make some kind of prediction about that.
Naomi Oreskes
Image
An experiment disproving a prediction is discovery.
Enrico Fermi
Image
Legends of prediction are common throughout the whole Household of Man. Gods speak, spirits speak, computers speak. Oracular ambiguity or statistical probability provides loopholes, and discrepancies are expunged by Faith.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Image
Science is prediction, not explanation.
Fred Hoyle
Image
A rational prediction has an explanation based on theory.
W. Edwards Deming
Image
That's not a prediction, that's a spoiler.
Paul Heyman
Image
The chief point we must remember is that the great and rapid advance of the physical sciences took place in fields where it proved that explanation and prediction could be based on laws which accounted for the observed phenomena as functions of comparatively few variables - either particular facts or relative frequencies of events.
Friedrich August von Hayek
Image
Each morning the day lies like a fresh shirt on our bed this incomparably fine, incomparably tightly woven tissue of pure prediction fits us perfectly. The happiness of the next twenty-four hours depends on our ability, on waking, to pick it up.
Walter Benjamin
Image
When we hear a prediction of some disaster we need to throw the entire weight of our positive thought in the opposite direction!
Peace Pilgrim
Image
Perhaps the safest prediction we can make about the future is that it will surprise us.
George Leonard
Image
I see that the life of this place is always emerging beyond expectation or prediction or typicality, that it is unique, given to the world minute by minute, only once, never to be repeated. And this is when I see that this life is a miracle, absolutely worth having, absolutely worth saving. We are alive within mystery, by miracle.
Wendell Berry
Image
No guarantees come with children's liberation. But neither the promise of great benefits to all nor the prediction of great difficulties ahead can serve as the reason for granting or denying rights to children. Rights will be granted because without them children are incapacitated, oppressed, and abused.
