Francis Quarles: Make use of time if thou lovest eternity; yesterday cannot be recalled…
Make use of time if thou lovest eternity; yesterday cannot be recalled; to-morrow cannot be assured; only to-day is thine, which if thou procrastinate, thou losest; and which lost is lost forever. One to-day is worth two to-morrows.
In today’s wordsMake use of time if you love eternity; yesterday can't be recalled and tomorrow can't be guaranteed; only today is yours, and if you put it off, you lose it, and once lost it's lost forever. One today is worth two tomorrows.
