Mark E. Smith Quotes

My evil genius Procrastination has whispered me to tarry 'til a more convenient season.

I'm a slow starter.

Believe that time is going to help you do what you want.

If you are the kind of person who is waiting for the 'right' thing to happen, you might wait for a long time. It's like waiting for all the traffic lights to be green for five miles before starting the trip.

Every day you don't do something, it makes it less likely that you will ever do something. So you've got to get started right away.

I am growing and learning. There's so much more that I want to accomplish and do. I'm gonna do it at whatever pace it happens. I'm not trying to rush anything or slow anything down.

Never leave that till tomorrow which you can do today.

I procrastinate so much and I get distracted by anything.

He who postpones the hour of living is like the rustic who waits for the river to run out before he crosses.

You just get up each day and put one foot in front of the other and go. You know, each day is different.

I had a history for starting something and maybe getting halfway done. Then I'd see the same thing I was doing on the bestseller list! My ideas were right, but I hadn't done them fast enough.

But the important thing about learning to wait, I feel sure, is to know what you are waiting for.

Don't let yourself make excuses for not doing the things you want to do.

If I wait for the genius to come, it just doesn't arrive.

It's all right to hesitate if you then go ahead.

When you feel as though you can't do something, the simple antidote is action: Begin doing it. Start the process, even if it's just a simple step, and don't stop at the beginning.

If you are not making the progress that you would like to make and are capable of making, it is simply because your goals are not clearly defined.

Whilst we deliberate how to begin a thing, it grows too late to begin it.

Too often, the opportunity knocks, but by the time you push back the chain, push back the bolt, unhook the two locks and shut off the burglar alarm, it's too late.

Never do today what you can do tomorrow. Something may occur to make you regret your premature action.

I'm a procrastinator. That's a pretty bad habit.

It takes as much energy to wish as it does to plan.

It is better to learn late than never.

A good plan today is better than a perfect plan tomorrow. Don't wait for an inspired ending to come to mind. Work your way to the ending and see what comes up.

We procrastinated in the U.S., it's true. And we are changing that.
