Tomorrow, I shall no longer be here.

Perfect knowledge of such things cannot be acquired without divine inspiration, given that all prophetic inspiration derives its initial origin from God Almighty, then from chance and nature.

A great war shall burst forth from fishes of steel. Machines of flying fire, lobsters, grasshoppers, mosquitoes. The mass attacks shall be repulsed in the woods, when no child in Germany shall obey any longer.

Nostradamus

Sham liberty will be proclaimed everywhere.

Nostradamus

That which neither weapon nor flame could accomplish will be achieved by a sweet speaking tongue in council.

Nostradamus

In Germany, a new sect shall be born which shall renew ancient pagan times.

Nostradamus

Sitting alone at night in secret study; it is placed on the brass tripod. A slight flame comes out of the emptiness and makes successful that which should not be believed in vain.

Nostradamus

If I have eschewed the word prophet, I do not wish to attribute to myself such lofty title at the present time.

Nostradamus

I had determined to go as far as declaring in abstruse and puzzling utterances the future causes of the "common advent", even those truly cogent ones that I have foreseen. Yet lest whatever human changes may be to come should scandalise delicate ears, the whole thing is written in nebulous form, rather than as a clear prophecy of any kind.

Nostradamus

The year 1999, seventh month, from the sky will come a great King of Terror. To bring back to life the great King of the Mongols, before and after Mars to reign by good luck.
