Every day is a new life to a wise man -This day will never dawn again
You and I are standing this very second at the meeting place of two eternities; the vast past that has endured foreever, and the future that is plunging on to the last syllable of recorded time. We can't possibly live in either of those eternities - no, not even for one split second. But by trying to do so, we can wreck both our bodies and our minds. So let's be content to live the only time we can possibly live: from now until bedtime. "Anyone can carry his burden, however hard, until nightfall", "Anyone can do this work, however hard, for one day. Anyone can live sweetly, patiently, lovingly, purely till the sun goes down. And this is all that life really means".


The hourglass has thousands of grains of sand in the top & they all pass slowly & evenly through the narrow neck in the middle. Nothing you or I could do would make more than one sand pass through this narrow neck without impairing the hour glass. You and I and everyone are like this hour glass, When we start in the morning they are hundereds of task which we feel that we must accomplish that day, but if we do not take them one at a time and let them pass through the day slowly and evenly as do the grains of sand passing through the narrow neck of the hourglass, then we are bound to break our own physical or mental structure.
