Monday's Quotation

On my first day back to work with the start of the Fall semester, this seems an appropriate quote. It's from the great civil rights activist and author W.E.B. Du Bois (1868-1963):

“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.”
