You seem to be drowning twice, said Hermione. Oh, am I? said Ron peering down at his predictions. I'd better change one of them to getting trampled by a rampaging Hippogriff.
J. K. Rowling
Image
It's always difficult to make predictions about the future.
Hermann E. Ott
Image
We would never get away from it. ... It's bad enough as it is, but with the wireless telephone one could be called up at the opera, in church, in our beds. Where could one be free from interruption?
Mihajlo Idvorski Pupin

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
To the extent that you can find ways where you're making predictions, there's no substitute for testing yourself on real-world situations that you don't know the answer to in advance.
Nate Silver

Yet I do seriously and on good grounds affirm it possible to make a flying chariot in which a man may sit and give such a motion unto it as shall convey him through the air. And this perhaps might be made large enough to carry divers men at the same time, together with food for their viaticum and commodities for traffic.
John Wilkins

Nothing can prevent us from another day and night, and the myth of perpetual flight.
Bertrand Piccard
Image
It is quite clear to me that the Tory Party will get rid of Mrs Thatcher in about 3 years time.
Harold Wilson

Dreams, and predictions of astrology....ought to serve but for winter talk by the fireside.
Francis Bacon
Image
Flight by machines heavier than air is unpractical and insignificant, if not utterly impossible.
Simon Newcomb
Image
But we must admit the possibility that continued investigation and experience will bring us ever nearer to that solemn moment, when the first man will rise from earth by means of wings, if only for a few seconds, and mark that historical moment which heralds the inauguration of a new era in our civilization.
Otto Lilienthal
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
If we do our homework right, never again should an asteroid that can do damage on the ground impact the Earth. We're living in a time-with our technology-we have the capability to eliminate that major shaper of evolution . . . the evolution of life on this planet.
Rusty Schweickart
Image
Hope is not a prediction of the future, it's a declaration of what is possible.
Harbhajan Singh Yogi
Image
The more unpredictable the world is the more we rely on predictions.
Steve Rivkin
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
Men might as well project a voyage to the Moon as attempt to employ steam navigation against the stormy North Atlantic Ocean.
Dionysius Lardner
Image
Two years from now, spam will be solved.
Bill Gates
Image
We must now allow ourselves to be blinded to long-term developments by the intensity of the short-term difficulties.
Stafford Cripps
Image
What man-made machine will ever achieve the complete perfection of even the goose's wing?
Abbas ibn Firnas
Image
Till facts are grouped & called there can be no prediction. The only advantage of discovering laws is to foretell what will happen & to see bearing of scattered facts.
Charles Darwin
Image
Almost all of the many predictions now being made about 1996 hinge on the internet's continuing exponential growth. But I predict the internet will soon go spectacularly supernova and in 1996 catastrophically collapse.
Robert Metcalfe
Image
We will be producing supersonic planes which will go far, far faster than Concordes. New York to Tokyo could be less than an hour. You could be traveling at 19,000 miles an hour orbitally.
Richard Branson
Image
I think people are going to return to sanity when they see how ridiculous many of these charges are, and how the predictions are not borne out.
