Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

28 August 1749 – 22 March 1832 / Frankfurt am Main

Lose The Day Loitering

Lose the day loitering,'twill be the same story
To-morrow, and the next more dilatory,
For indecision brings its own delays,
And days are lost lamenting o'er lost days.
Are you in earnest? Seize this very minute!
What you can do, or think you can, begin it!
Only engage, and then the mind grows heated;
Begin it, and the work will be completed
