Another Quote:

We are standing this very second at the meeting place of two eternities,
the vast past that has endured forever
and the future that is plunging on
to the last syllable of recorded time.
We can not possibly live in either of those eternities,
not even for one split second
But by trying to do so
We can wreck both our
bodies and minds.
So let us be content to live in the only time we can possibly live,
From now until bedtime.

(Dale Carnegie)

Another Quote:

Happy the man,
And Happy He alone,
He who can call today his own,
He who, secure within can say,
Tommrow do thy worst,
For I have lived today!
