“We usually lose today, because there has been a yesterday, and tomorrow is coming.”
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
“The man who goes alone can start today; but he who travels with another must wait till that other is ready.”
Henry David Thoreau
“I would rather have a good plan today than a perfect plan two weeks from now.”
General George S. Patton
“I don't know if I continue, even today, always liking myself. But what I learned to do many years ago was to forgive myself. It is very important for every human being to forgive herself or himself because if you live, you will make mistakes- it is inevitable. But once you do and you see the mistake, then you forgive yourself and say, 'well, if I'd known better I'd have done better,' that's all. So you say to people who you think you may have injured, 'I'm sorry,' and then you say to yourself, 'I'm sorry.' If we all hold on to the mistake, we can't see our own glory in the mirror because we have the mistake between our faces and the mirror; we can't see what we're capable of being. You can ask forgiveness of others, but in the end the real forgiveness is in one's own self. I think that young men and women are so caught by the way they see themselves. Now mind you. When a larger society sees them as unattractive, as threats, as too black or too white or too poor or too fat or too thin or too sexual or too asexual, that's rough. But you can overcome that. The real difficulty is to overcome how you think about yourself. If we don't have that we never grow, we never learn, and sure as hell we should never teach.”
Maya Angelou
“Work while it is called today, for you know not how much you will be hindered tomorrow. One today is worth two tomorrow's; never leave that till tomorrow which you can do today.”
Benjamin Franklin
“Think of the long view of life, not just what's going to happen today or tomorrow. Don't give up what you most want in life for something you think you want now.”
Elder Richard G. Scott
“I am not afraid of tomorrow, for I have seen yesterday and I love today.”
William Allen White
“Never regret yesterday. Life is in you today, and you make your tomorrow.”
L. Ron Hubbard
“I do not think much of a man who is not wiser today than he was yesterday.”
Abraham Lincoln
“The world today doesn't make sense, so why should I paint pictures that do?”
Pablo Picasso
