PROCRASTINATION





By the streets of "by and by," one arrives at the house of "never." - Cervantes

Never put off till tomorrow that which you can do today. - Franklin

Indulge in procrastination, and in time you will come to this, that because a thing ought to be done, therefore you can't do it. - Charles Buxton

How mankind defers from day to day the best it can do, and the most beautiful things it can enjoy, without thinking that every day may be the last one, and that lost time is lost eternity! - Max Muller

To be always intending to live a new life, but never do find time to set about it: this is as if a man should put off eating and drinking and sleeping from one day and night to another, till he is starved and destroyed - Tillotson

Tomorrow is the day when idlers work, and fools reform, and mortal men lay hold on heaven.

Procrastination is the thief of time; year after year it steals, till all are fled, and to the mercies of a moment leaves the vast concerns of an eternal state. At thirty, man suspects himself a fool; knows it at forty, and reforms his plan; at fifty chides his infamous delay, pushes his prudent purpose to resolve; in all the magnanimity of thought, resolves, and re-resolves, then dies the same. - Young

Delay not till tomorrow to be wise; tomorrow's sun to thee may never rise. - Congreve
