You may work while it is day but when you have lost that day, it will not return for you to work in. While your candle burns, you may make use of its light, but when it is done, it is too late to use it.
Richard Baxter
Image
This life was not intended to be the place of our perfection, but the preparation for it.
Richard Baxter
