Maria Edgeworth Quotes

The right time is always right now.

How long will you wait for the right time to come? The right time is now and the right place is here.

We cannot put off living until we are ready.

There is a danger in the word someday when what it means is “not this day.”...The scriptures make the danger of delay clear. It is that we may discover that we have run out of time. The God who gives us each day as a treasure will require an accounting. We will weep, and He will weep, if we have intended to repent and to serve Him in tomorrows which never came or have dreamt of yesterdays where the opportunity to act was past. This day is a precious gift of God. The thought “Someday I will” can be a thief of the opportunities of time and the blessings of eternity.

It's a terrible thing, I think, in life to wait until you're ready. I have this feeling now that actually no one is ever ready to do anything. There is almost no such thing as ready. There is only now. And you may as well do it now. Generally speaking, now is as good a time as any.

The time to change was yesterday; the time to wake up is now.

Now is almost always the better choice. You never know about later.

Half of today is better than all of tomorrow.

What are you waiting for? What are you saving for? Now is all there is.

Tomorrow-drop that word from your vocabulary! Tomorrow does not exist, it cannot exist: it is not in the nature of things. Only this day exists.

If you've got something you want to do, do it right now.

When shall we live if not now?

There's a saying I remember from my grandmother: One today is worth two tomorrows.

I don't know whether this is the best of times or the worst of times, but I assure you it's the only time you've got. You can either sit on your expletive deleted or pick a daisy.

Do not so contemplate eternity that you waste today.

Stop talking about tomorrow. You owe it to yourself to do whatever you can to live you can to live a better life today.

You've got work to do. Don't put this off. And don't take the long view, here. You know? Life is today and tomorrow and - and if you're lucky, next week.

People were always getting ready for tomorrow. I didn't believe in that. Tomorrow wasn't getting ready for them. It didn't even know they were there.

Remember this: Now is the only time you have. When God created the universe, it was now. You can't say to creation and energy, "I'll do it later, not now." Later doesn't exist. Creation doesn't know anything but now. Whenever you get around to doing what you want to do, it will be now. The things you need to do to live a happier, more fulfilling life-the only time you can possible start doing them is now.

People who live in the now; those people make things happen.

Seize the day, trusting as little as possible in the future.

if a thing is to be done, there is no time like the hour that has not struck.

Dare to begin! He who postpones living rightly is like the rustic who waits for the river to run out before he crosses.

There is only one time that is important -- NOW! It is the most important time because it is the only time hat we have any power.

The challenge is in the moment; the time is always now.
