Wise Quotes about Dry

Today is what life is all about.
When I desire for the future to arrive quickly,
I become unable to savor today.
I can't live in tomorrow, and when I focus
all my energies on the future, I shortchange today.
Likewise, fearing the future emasculates today,
leaving it dry and lifeless.

I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them.
I shall use my time.

ignorance and crime, and dries up
all the fountains of joy in the world.
