• It is very different to make a practical system and to introduce it. A few experiments in the laboratory would prove the practicability of system long before it could be brought into general use. You can take a pipe and put a little coal in it, close it up, heat it and light the gas that comes out of the stem, but that is not introducing gas lighting. I'll bet that if it were discovered to-morrow in New York that gas could be made out of coal it would be at least five years before the system would be in general use.

  Thomas A. Edison

  New York, Science, Light

• Children have an anxious concern for living beings, and the satisfaction of this instinct fills them with delight. It is therefore easy to interest them in taking care of plants and especially of animals. Nothing awakens foresight in a small child such as this. When he knows that animals have need of him, that little plants will dry up if he does not water them, he binds together with a new thread of love today's passing moments with those of the morrow.

  Maria Montessori

• To-morrow I will begin, thought Katy, as she dropped asleep that night. How often we all do so! And what a pity it is that when morning comes and to-morrow is to-day, we so frequently wake up feeling quite differently; careless or impatient, and not a bit inclined to do the fine things we planned overnight.

• To-morrow is that lamp upon the marsh, which a traveller never reacheth;
  To-morrow, the rainbow's cup, coveted prize of ignorance;
  To-morrow, the shifting anchorage, dangerous trust of manners;
  To-morrow, the wrecker's beacon, wily snare of the destroyer.
  Reconcile conviction with delay, and To-morrow is a fatal lie;
  Frighten resolutions into action, To-morrow is a wholesome truth.

  Martin Farquhar Tupper

• To-day, to-morrow, every day, to thousands the end of the world is close at hand. And why should we fear it? We walk here, as it were, in the crypts of life; at times, from the great cathedral above us, we can hear the organ and the chanting choir; we see the light stream through the open door, when some friend goes up before us; and shall we fear to mount the narrow staircase of the grave that leads us out of this uncertain twilight into life eternal?

  Who cries to me: "Remember Barmecide,
  And tremble to be happy with the rest."

  God hath already said what shall betide.
