Now is the accepted time, not tomorrow, not some more convenient season. It is today that our best work can be done and not some future day or future year. It is today that we fit ourselves for the greater usefulness of tomorrow. Today is the seed time, now are the hours of work, and tomorrow comes the harvest and the playtime. W E B Du Bois

The cost of liberty is less than the price of repression. W E B Du Bois
Believe in life! Always human beings will live and progress to greater, broader and fuller life. W E B Du Bois
