Begin, be bold, and venture to be wise,
He who defers this work from day to day,
Does on a river's bank expecting stay,
Till the whole stream, which stopped him, should be gone,
That runs, and as it runs, for ever will run on.

Abraham Cowley

Thus would I double my life's fading space;
For he that runs it well, runs twice his race.

Abraham Cowley
