Never do tomorrow what you can do today. Procrastination is the thief of time.
Charles Dickens Quotes

Rivers and seas were formed to float their ships; rainbows gave them promise of fair weather; winds blew for or against their enterprises; stars and planets circled in their orbits, to preserve inviolate a system of which they were the centre.
