Procrastination is the Thief of Time

Procrastination is the thief of time. - Edward Young

In honor of Martin Luther King Day, I thought it would be great to share a portion of his passage where he so eloquently uses this quote:

We are now faced with the fact that tomorrow is today. We are confronted with the fierce urgency of now. In this unfolding conundrum of life and history there is such a thing as being too late. Procrastination is still the thief of time. Life often leaves us standing bare, naked and dejected with a lost opportunity. The “tide in the affairs of men” does not remain at the flood; it ebbs. We may cry out deperately for time to pause in her passage, but time is deaf to every plea and rushes on. Over the bleached bones and jumbled residue of numerous civilizations are written the pathetic words: “Too late.” - Martin Luther King

To sum it up: don’t waste time, act now!
