    Seek not for fresher founts afar,
    Just drop your bucket where you are;
    And while the ship right onward leaps,
    Uplift it from the exhaustless deeps.
    Parch not your life with dry despair;
    The stream of hope flow everywhere--
    So under every sky and star,
    Just drop your bucket where you are.

Hairy in front, Occasion's bald behind.

Fronte capillata, post est occasio calva.]

The sad truth is that opportunity doesn't knock twice. You can put things off until tomorrow but tomorrow may never read more

The sad truth is that opportunity doesn't knock twice. You can put things off until tomorrow but tomorrow may never come. Where will you be a few years down the line. Will it be everything you dreamed of. We seal our fate with the choices we take, but don't give a second thought to the chances we take.
