Quote of the Day

When W.E.B. DuBois (1868-1963) wrote the following, he undoubtedly was referring to the constant refrain to African-Americans that they had to wait for their equality. But it's a statement that actually has broader implications, and in fact applies to any number of issues even today:

“Now is the accepted time, not tomorrow, not some
more convenient season. It is today that our best
work can be done and not some future day or future
year. It is today that we fit ourselves for the greater
usefulness of tomorrow. Today is the seed time, now
are the hours of work, and tomorrow comes the
harvest and the playtime.”
