Never do but one thing at a time, and never put off till to-morrow what you can do today.

Lope Felix de Vega Carpio

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

John Dryden

Never leave that till to-morrow which you can do to-day.

Benjamin Franklin

One today is worth two tomorrows.

Benjamin Franklin

Light tomorrow with today.

Elizabeth Barrett Browning

Remember, today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.

Dale Carnegie

This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.

Psalm 118:24

Dear Lord, Thank you for the promise of Your word. The past, the present and the future are really one – they are today.  Remind me that yesterday has past and tomorrow has not yet come. Take away my worries and any discouragement. Help me to make today special.  Help me to live it to the fullest and to do all that I can for You. Remind me that today will not come again and not to waste it, but to take advantage of each minute – not wasting even a second.  Show me good time management taking time for myself, others and You.  Amen.
