Realize deeply that the present moment is all you will ever have.
Someday is not a day of the week.
The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ, Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line, Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.
‘Every day’ is a bank account, and time is our currency. No one is rich, no one is poor, we’ve got 24 hours each.
Be here now.
Time stays long enough for those who use it.
The past is gone, the future is not yet here, and if we do not go back to ourselves in the present moment, we cannot be in touch with life.
Better three hours too soon than a minute too late.
I shall pass through this world but once. Any good therefore that I can do or any kindness that I can show to any human being, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.
If you love life, don’t waste time, for time is what life is made up of.
It’s a terrible thing, I think, in life to wait until you’re ready. I have this feeling now that actually no one is ever ready to do anything. There is almost no such thing as ready. There is only now. And you may as well do it now. Generally speaking, now is as good a time as any.
We must use time creatively, and forever realize that the time is always ripe to do right.
Don’t waste your time or time will waste you.
One today is worth two tomorrows.
You’ve gotta keep control of your time, and you can’t unless you say no. You can’t let people set your agenda in life.
Procrastination is the bad habit of putting off until the day after tomorrow what should have been done the day before yesterday.
If you don’t make the time to work on creating the life you want, you’re eventually going to be forced to spend a lot of time dealing with a life you don’t want.
The ultimate inspiration is the deadline.
Make it happen now, not tomorrow. Tomorrow is a loser's excuse.
The greatest opportunity in the world is found here today… We already know what yesterday has got for us. It’s already gone. Tomorrow, too far away. What about right now!
