Today

"What we are today represents an adjustment achieved over the millions and hundreds of millions of years."

"Today is the first day of the rest of your life."

"To-day is the parent of to-morrow. The present casts its shadow far into the future. That is the law of life, individual and social. Revolution that divests itself of ethical values thereby lays the foundation of injustice, deceit, and oppression for the future society. The means used to prepare the future become its cornerstone."

"The presence of perpetual change Is ever on the earth; To-day is only as the soil That gives to-morrow birth."

"Like it or not we live in interesting times. They are times of danger and uncertainty; but they are also more open to the creative energy of men than any other time in history. And everyone here will ultimately be judged — will ultimately judge himself — on the effort he has contributed to building a new world society and the extent to which his ideals and goals have shaped that effort."

"That the bird has no “next day” is certain enough. Therefore be like the bird; remove the next day and then you are without the care of self-torment – and this can be done just because the next day lies in the self. One the other hand, let today drop away almost entirely in comparison with the next day’s trouble, and then you are deepest in self-torment. It all is the difference of one day – and yet what an enormous difference!"

"Nothing that is can pause or stay; The moon will wax, the moon will wane, The mist and cloud will turn to rain, The rain to mist and cloud again, To-morrow be to-day."

"Non est, crede mihi, sapientis dicere ‘Vivam’: Sera nimis vita est crastina: vive hodie."

"Education is an important element in the struggle for human rights. It is the means to help our children and our people rediscover their identity and thereby increase their self respect. Education is our passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs only to the people who prepare for it today."

"Out of Eternity The new Day is born; Into Eternity At night will return."

"To-day is ours; what do we fear? To-day is ours; we have it here. Let's treat it kindly, that it may Wish, at least, with us to stay. Let's banish business, banish sorrow; To the gods belongs to-morrow."

"To-morrow let my sun his beams display, Or in clouds hide them: I have lived to-day."

"Days that need borrow No part of their good morrow, From a fore-spent night of sorrow."

"What dost thou bring to me, O fair To-day, That comest o'er the mountains with swift feet?"

"Happy the man, and happy he alone, He, who can call to-day his own: He who, secure within, can say, To-morrow, do thy worst, for I have liv'd to-day."

"Die Gegenwart ist eine mächtige Göttin."

"The acts of to-day become the precedents of to-morrow."

"What yesterday was fact to-day is doctrine."

"Oh, the nursery is lonely and the garden's full of rain, And there's nobody at all who wants to play, But I think if I should only run with all my might and main, I could leave this dreary country of To-day."

"To-day what is there in the air That makes December seem sweet May? There are no swallows anywhere, Nor crocuses to crown your hair And hail you down my garden way. Last night the full moon's frozen stare Struck me, perhaps; or did you say Really—you'd come, sweet Fnend and fair! To-day?"

"Rise! for the day is passing, And you lie dreaming on; The others have buckled their armour, And forth to the fight have gone: A place in the ranks awaits you, Each man has some part to play; The Past and the Future are nothing, In the face of the stern To-day."

"Yesterday is past. Tomorrow is but a dream. Today is a gift, cherish each moment."

"Oogway: Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the "present"."
