What's left undone today, is still not done tomorrow;

to every day there is a use and purpose;

let Resoluteness promptly seize

the forelock of the Possible,

and then, reluctant to let go again,

she's forced to carry on and be productive.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (trans. Stuart Atkins), Faust I
