Sanskrit Proverb

 

Look to this day,

 

The very life of life

In its brief course lies all

 

The realities and verities of existence,

 

The bliss of growth,

 

The splendor of action,

 

The glory of power.

 

For yesterday is but a dream,

 

And tomorrow is only a vision.

 

But today well lived,

 

Makes every yesterday

 

A dream of happiness

 

And every tomorrow

 

A vision of hope.

 

Look well, therefore,

 

To this day.
