"There are two days in every week about which we should not worry; two days which should be kept free from fear and apprehension. One of these days is 'Yesterday' with its mistakes and cares, its faults and blunders, its aches and pains. Yesterday has passed forever beyond our control. All the money in the world cannot bring back 'Yesterday'. We cannot undo a single act we performed, we cannot erase a single word said. 'Yesterday' is gone! The other day we should not worry about is 'Tomorrow' with its possible burden, its large promise and poor performance. 'Tomorrow' is also beyond our immediate control. Tomorrow's sun will rise, either in splendor or behind a mask of clouds - but it will rise. Until it does, we have no stake in 'Tomorrow', for it is yet unborn. This leaves only one day - 'Today'! Any man can fight the battle of just one day. It is only when you and I have the burdens in these two awful extremities - 'Yesterday' and 'Tomorrow' - that we break down. It is not the experience of 'Today' that drives men mad - it is the remorse or bitterness about something which happened yesterday and the dread of what tomorrow may bring. Let us therefore live but only one day at a time!"
