Science fiction writers foresee the inevitable, and although problems and catastrophes may be inevitable, solutions are not.

Unforeseen surprises are the rule in science, not the exception. Remember: Stuff happens.

Being a unique superpower undermines the military intelligence of strategy. To think strategically, one has to imagine oneself in the enemy's place.

A wise woman never yields by appointment. It should always be an unforeseen happiness.

All political thinking for years past has been vitiated in the same way. People can foresee the future only when it coincides with their own wishes, and the most grossly obvious facts can be ignored when they are unwelcome.

The demise of Google Reader, if logical, is a reminder of how far we've come from the cuddly old 'I'm Feeling Lucky' Google days, in which there was a foreseeably-astonishing delight in the way Google's evolving design tricks anticipated what users would like.

We call the fates of the Titanic and the Concordia - as well as those of the space shuttles Challenger and Columbia - 'accidents.' Foreseeing such undesirable events is what engineers are expected to do. However, design trade-offs leave technological systems open to failings once predicted, but later forgotten.

The mind cannot foresee its own advance.

Your task is not to foresee the future, but to enable it.
