Quotes About Being Late

While others are beginning;

Ne'er slacken your endeavor;
Just keep this wholesome truth in mind:
'Tis better late than never!

Never Too Late
It is never too late to be happy;
It is never too late to smile;
It is never too late to extend a hand
With a cheering word once in a while.
For there's never a sorrow or worry
In all this green-covered earth
But is followed soon by a gladsome joy
And a generous measure of mirth.
~ Jeanette H. Carey
