quotations about tomorrow
Endless nights
Dreaming of the day
The boat along the side
Sails to carry us away
Islands on the river
It could happen soon
I heard them say
It could happen soon
But just like yesterday
The ships have come and gone
And we were not along
Oh Tomorrow never came
BOZ SCAGGS
"Tomorrow Never Came"
Close your eyes and I'll kiss you
Tomorrow I'll miss you
THE BEATLES
"All My Loving"
Isn't it nice to think that tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it yet?
LUCY MAUD MONTGOMERY
Anne of Green Gables
Never let a day so pass that you will have cause to say, "I will live better tomorrow."
BRIGHAM YOUNG
Journal of Discourses
People tell me life is sweeter
But I don't hear what they say
Nothing comes to change my life
So tomorrow is today
BILLY JOEL
"Tomorrow Is Today"
tomorrow is our permanent address
and there they'll scarcely find us (if they do,
we'll move away still further: into now)
E. E. CUMMINGS
100 Selected Poems
When things are hard, it's always easier to decide to tackle them tomorrow. The problem is that tomorrow never comes. Saying you'll do it tomorrow is just an excuse, and it means that either you don't really want to do it or that you want the results without the hard work that comes along with it.

You know what I learned is that tomorrow always comes and if you take the time to catch up your breath and learn lessons but stay on your purpose, other opportunities and other chances tend to show up.

Love beneath the stars. Firelight in the cane-pieces. Degradation, absolute vomit. Bed. Same tomorrow. Tomorrow again. Tomorrow always.
MARTIN CARTER
"A question of independence", Stabroek News, December 13, 2016
There is a budding morrow in midnight.
JOHN KEATS
"Standing alone in giant ignorance"
Memories are nothing but the lash with which yesterday flogs tomorrow.
PHILIP MOELLER
The Roadhouse in Arden
The trouble is, you think you have time
You think tomorrow's always coming down the line
Then one day you wake up and you find
The trouble is, you thought you had time
DEAN BRODY
"Time", Beautiful Freakshow
I've had so many yesterdays, but I'm not sure how many tomorrows. I feel it's best to see if I can enjoy whatever tomorrows are left.

A shining isle in a stormy sea,
We seek it ever with smiles and sighs;
To-day is sad. In the bland To-be,
Serene and lovely To-morrow lies.
MARY CLEMMER AMES

Tomorrow--there's no day so fair,
It knows no sorrow;
A day that banishes despair,
Joy rules tomorrow.

Pessimism drops the curtain on tomorrow.

Don't Throw Away Tomorrow
Menacing lines of black tomorrows on the horizon.
JORIS-KARL HUYSMANS

Trust on and think To-morrow will repay;
To-morrow's falser than the former day;
Lies worse; and while it says, we shall be blest
With some new Joys, cuts off what we possest.
JOHN DRYDEN
Aureng-zebe
Do not put off till tomorrow what can be put off till day-after-tomorrow just as well.
