The splendid achievements of the intellect, like the soul, are everlasting.

While you can

Before this day gets away from you, grab its potential and do something with it. Start early, because you never fully know what will happen later.

Good intentions are great. But only when you act on them.

Don’t allow what you meant to do become what you failed to do. Use the time you have when you have it, because it slips away quickly and does not return.

Do the best of what’s possible while it remains possible. Utilize every moment beginning with this one.

Focus on positive purpose and put it into action. As time continues to arrive, continue to fill it with meaningful value.

At the end of the day you’ll be left with either achievement or regret. Now, while you still can, choose achievement by making it happen.

— Ralph Marston
