Do not, I beg of you, dampen today's sun with the showers of tomorrow.

"Do not, I beg of you, dampen today's sun with the showers of tomorrow." - Emperor Nick Chopper (The Tin Woodsman) -The Marvellous Land Of Oz by L. Frank Baum pg 86 chapter 11

Don't pray when it rains if you don't pray when the sun shines.

Don't let yesterday use up too much of today.

Remember that the sun doesn’t belong more to a man than to you. Never let yourself to be put in the shadow.

Defer not till tomorrow to be wise,
Tomorrow's sun to thee may never rise.

My dear, don't let the sun go down upon your anger - forgive each other, help each other and begin again tomorrow.

Don't let yesterday take up too much of today.

Don't burn the day away.

Don't disparage the day that still has an hour of light in its hand.

Don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today.

Don't let the tide of your sorrow Drown your nights and flood your days

Beware not to use the future as an excuse to ignore living in the present.

I'm not saying it's wrong to plan for the future. I'm warning not to make today a victim of those plans.
