Quote by Maria Edgeworth
There is no moment like the present. The man who will not execute

There is no moment like the present. The man who will not execute his resolutions when they are fresh upon him can have no hope from them afterwards: they will be dissipated, lost, and perish in the hurry and scurry of the world, or sunk in the slough of indolence. – Maria Edgeworth
