"We stood there and talked while Elizabeth sipped her milk daintily and she told me all about Tomorrow. The Woman had told her that Tomorrow never comes, but Elizabeth knows better. It will come sometime. Some beautiful morning she will just wake up and find it is Tomorrow. Not Today but Tomorrow. And then things will happen . . . wonderful things. She may even have a day to do exactly as she likes in, with nobody watching her . . . though I think Elizabeth feels that is too good to happen even in Tomorrow. Or she may find out what is at the end of the harbor road . . . that wandering, twisting road like a nice red snake, that leads, so Elizabeth thinks, to the end of the world. Perhaps the Island of Happiness is there. Elizabeth feels sure there is an Island of Happiness somewhere where all the ships that never come back are anchored, and she will find it when Tomorrow comes."
"No soul is aware of what it will achieve tomorrow and no soul knows in which land it will die."
"Never do but one thing at a time, and never put off till to-morrow what you can do today."
"Would you realize what Revolution is, call it Progress; and would you realize what Progress is, call it Tomorrow."
"Defer not till to-morrow to be wise, To-morrows Sun to thee may never rise; Or should to-morrow chance to cheer thy sight With her enlivening and unlookd for light, How grateful will appear her dawning rays! As favours unexpected doubly please."
