Quotations
About Today
Tomorrow's
life is too late, so -- live today. ~ Martial

event, and in today, already walks tomorrow. ~ Samuel Taylor

he steals tomorrow from you. ~ A. F. Forester

of days to come,
Live,
love, labor more today.

God
sets some souls in shade alone;
They have no daylight of their own:
They live their lives in happier ones
They see the shine of distant suns.
God
knows. Content thee with thy night.
Thy greater heaven hath grander light.
Today is close, the hours are small;
Thou sitt'st afar and hast them all.
Lose the less joy that doth but blind,
Reach forth a larger bliss to find.
Today is brief, the inclusive spheres,
Rain raptures of a thousand years.
~ Adeline D. T. Whitney

Time
is of no account with great thoughts, which are as fresh
today as when they first past through their author's
minds years ago. ~ Samuel Smiles

Gather
the roses while the bloom is still on them; for tomorrow is
not today. ~ Gleim, German Poet
Better
have an egg today than a hen tomorrow. ~ Italian Proverb
One today
is worth two tomorrows. ~ German Proverb
Use
not today what tomorrow may want. ~ Ancient Brahmin Proverb
Today
We dream bright dreams of tomorrow;
Our castles are built in the air;
And with hues sublime, of the coming time,
We paint us a picture fair.
But we never stop to consider
That the future flees away,
And that there is naught into being wrought
Unless it is wrought today.
To the cherished haunts of the old tune
Our eyes are backward cast,
And a sweet voice calls through memory's halls,
To woo us unto the past.
But however dear are the visions,
We do not dare to stay.
From out of the gone, we must yet move or
To the duties' call today.
We've the "now" in which to labor;
We've the "now" in which to be!
And the "now" alone we call our own
Through all eternity.
The past and the future are shadows,
But the present is ours for aye.
To us 'tis given to build our heaven
In the kingdom of today.
~ J. A. Edgerton
