Tomorrow be Today

 
Nothing that is can pause or stay;
The moon will wax, the moon will wane,
The mist and cloud will turn to rain,
The rain to mist and cloud again,
Tomorrow be today.

Free and Easy

 
If you only get to go around one time
I'm gonna sit back and try to enjoy the ride
I could make a million or wind up broke
Free and easy down the road I go
Can't take it with you when you go so
Free and easy down the road I go
Someday I know it's gonna take me home so
Free and easy down the road I go

Don't Wait

 
Infuse your life with action.
 Don't wait for it to happen. Make it happen.
 Make your own future. Make your own hope. Make your own love.
 And whatever your beliefs, honor your creator,
 not by passively waiting for grace to come down from upon high,
 but by doing what you can to make grace happen... yourself,
 right now, right down here on Earth. 
~Bradley Whitford~
