Quote by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Then indecision brings its own delays,And days are lost lamenting o'er lost days.Are you in earnest? Seize this very minute;What you can do, or dream you can, begin it;Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.

Then indecision brings its own delays,And days are lost lame
