Never is done tomorrow what is not done today
And one should let no day slip by.
With resolution seize the possible straightway
By forelock and with quick, courageous trust;
Then holding fast you will not let it further fly
And you will labour on because you must.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe - Faust: A Tragedy

When you lose, don't lose the lesson.
Tenzin Gyatso, 14th Dalai Lama
