Men spend their lives in anticipations, in determining to be vastly
happy at some period when they have time. But the present time has
one advantage over every other - it is our own. Past opportunities
are gone, future have not come. We may lay in a stock of pleasures,
as we would lay in a stock of wine; but if we defer the tasting of
them too long, we shall find that both are soured by age.
-- C. C. Colton
