Harold B. Lee Quotes

Here's what you need to keep in mind. You no longer have yesterday. You do not yet have tomorrow. You have only today. This is the day the Lord has made. Live in it.

People create success in their lives by focusing on today. It may sound trite, but today is the only time you have. It's too late for yesterday. And you can't depend on tomorrow. That's why today matters. Most of the time we miss that.

The greatest hindrance to living is expectancy, which depends upon tomorrow and wastes today

Capture the day, put minimum trust on tomorrow.

If tomorrow wasn’t promised, what would you give for today?

For the rest of my life there are two days that will never again trouble me. The first day is yesterday with all its blunders and tears, follies and defeats. Yesterday has passed away, beyond my control forever. The other day is tomorrow with all its pitfalls and threats, its dangers and mystery. Until the sun rises again I have no stake in tomorrow, for it is still unborn.

But in the meantime all the life you have or ever will have is today, tonight, tomorrow, today, tonight, tomorrow, over and over again (I hope).

You can’t do anything about yesterday, and the only way to improve tomorrow is by what you do right now.

I had only immediate things today, only today, not tomorrow. I don't know what will happen tomorrow. Today I can see myself like crystal.

There was only today to throw yourself into without thinking about tomorrow, let alone forever. To keep you from thinking, there was liquor, an ocean's worth at least, all the usual vices and plenty of rope to hang yourself with. Love is a beautiful liar.

Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin.

Live today. Not yesterday. Not tomorrow. Just today. Inhabit your moments. Don’t rent them out to tomorrow. Do you know what you’re doing when you spend a moment wondering how things are going to turn out with Perry? 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.

I'm gonna live like tomorrow doesn't exist.

Every man's life lies within the present; for the past is spent and done with, and the future is uncertain.

There is no future, there is no past. I live this moment as my last. There's only us, there's only this. Forget regret, or life is yours to miss. No other road, no other way, no day but 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.

No matter how much time you've wasted in the past, you still have an entire today.

I tire so of hearing people say, Let things take their course. Tomorrow is another day. I do not need my freedom when I'm dead. I cannot live on tomorrow's bread.

Live in the present. The past is gone; the future is unknown - but the present is real, and your opportunities are now.

This day is all that is good and fair. It is too dear, with its hopes and invitations, to waste a moment on the yesterdays.

There's only now, there's only here. Give in to love, or live in fear. No other path, no other way, no day but today.

Today is the only guarantee you get.

You should enjoy the present moment because this is all you have. Create for tomorrow, but live in and for today.

It is the first day because it has never been before and the last day because it will never be again. Be alive, if you can, all through this day - today - of your life. What's to be done? What's to be done? Follow your feet. Put on the coffee. Start the orange juice, the bacon, the toast. Then go wake up your children and your spouse. Think about the work of your hands. Live in the needs of the day.
