quotations about today
Stop longing. You poison today's ease, reaching always for tomorrow.
ROBIN HOBB
Fool's Errand
When Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow meet, only Today gets to shake hands twice. That makes Today twice as important as the other two. But it also means that Today must be careful, because who knows whether Yesterday or Tomorrow washed their hands after going to the bathroom.

KIRK FRANKLIN
"Today"
You're cheating yourself out of today. Today is calling to you, trying to get your attention, but you're stuck on tomorrow, and today trickles away like water down a drain. You wake up the next morning and that today you wasted is gone forever. It's now yesterday. Some of those moments may have had wonderful things in store for you, but now you'll never know.
JERRY SPINELLI
Love, Stargirl
Yesterday is there
But today always wins
Everlastingly.
My own superiority
Trumpeted from the towers
of my crumbling body.
DANIEL JUPP
"Sequence 1", Poems Sequence
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.
ADELAIDE PROCTER
"Now", Legends and Lyrics
Today is shrapnel on my tongue and you and me and this world is Russian Roulette.

Today while the blossoms still cling to the vine,
I'll taste your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet wine.
A million tomorrow shall all pass away, 'ere I forget all the joy that is mine, today.
I'll be a dandy and I'll be a rover, you'll know who I am by the songs that I sing.
I'll feast at your table, I'll sleep in your clover, who cares what tomorrow shall bring?
JOHN DENVER
"Today"
Love me today and I shall live today always!
CECIL DAY LEWIS

If you do what you have to do today, all the tomorrows have a way of working things out by themselves.
ALBERT BORRIS
Crash Into Me
Live Today! Do not allow your spirit to be softened of your happiness to be limited by a day you cannot have back or a day that does not yet exist.
STEVE MARABOLI

Today is the sort of day where the sun only comes up to humiliate you.

Cherish your yesterdays, dream your tomorrows, but always live your todays.

To-day belongs to me,
To-morrow who can tell.
ANACREON
"Ode VIII", Odes
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.
HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW
Keramos
Yesterday is but today's memory and tomorrow is today's dream.
