A man begins to die when he ceases to expect anything from Tomorrow.
ABRAHAM MILLER, Unmoral Maxims
People were always getting ready for tomorrow. I didn't believe in that. Tomorrow wasn't getting ready for them. It didn't even know they were there.
CORMAC MCCARTHY, The Road
Leave nothing for tomorrow which can be done today.
ABRAHAM LINCOLN, memorandum for law lecture, 1850
Do not put off till tomorrow what can be put off till day-after-tomorrow just as well.
MARK TWAIN, Mark Twain's Notebook
Regret is ... an unavoidable result of any loss, for in loss we lose the tomorrow that we needed to make right our yesterday or today.
GERALD LAWSON SITTSER, A Grace Disguised
Pessimism drops the curtain on tomorrow.
ROBERT H. SCHULLER, Don't Throw Away Tomorrow
Tomorrows were full of awful things. Today, now, was the essential.
ARIANA FRANKLIN, Mistress of the Art of Death
Memories are nothing but the lash with which yesterday flogs tomorrow.
PHILIP MOELLER, The Roadhouse in Arden
- Tomorrow gives a beck'ning hand--
- I turn my face away;
- I'll not invite her to my home--
- I only love Today.
ARDELIA COTTON BARTON, "Today"
Tomorrow may never come to us. We do not live in tomorrow. We cannot find it in any of our title-deeds. The man who owns whole blocks of real estate, and great ships on the sea, does not own a single minute of tomorrow. Tomorrow! It is a mysterious possibility, not yet born. It lies under the seal of midnight--behind the veil of glittering constellations.
E. H. CHAPIN, Living Words
Tomorrow, chased by time, flies before us to eternity--a point that can never be reached.
CHARLES WILLIAM DAY, The Maxims, Experiences, and Observations of Agogos
All the flowers of all the tomorrows are in the seed of today.
CROFT M. PENTZ, The Complete Book of Zingers
Pregnant Tomorrow, impregnable Tomorrow! holds imprisoned in her belly the hopes and fears of a pale-faced humanity.
ABRAHAM MILLER, Unmoral Maxims
- Tomorrow--there's no day so fair,
- It knows no sorrow;
- A day that banishes despair,
- Joy rules tomorrow.
And tomorrow--who knows what happens? Do you get it? I don't know and no one knows--it's all unknown! You understand, that this is the end to the Known? This is the new, the improbable, the unpredictable.
- Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
- Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
- To the last syllable of recorded time,
- And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
- The way to dusty death.
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, Macbeth
Tomorrow is never what it’s supposed to be.
BOB DYLAN, "Don't Fall Apart on Me Tonight"
Tomorrow changes the face of reality.
PHILIP JOSE FARMER, The Lovers
