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 futureyear. It is today that we fit ourselves for the greaterusefulness of tomorrow. Today is the seed time, now are the hours of work, and tomorrow comes the harvest and the playtime.”
