Quote by Marcus Aurelius

Tomorrow is nothing, today is too late the good lived yesterday.

Tomorrow is nothing, today is too late the good lived yester

Summary

This quote implies that focusing on the past and waiting for the future prevents one from fully experiencing the present moment. It suggests that the opportunities and joys of yesterday are now gone, and fixating on what lies ahead will only result in missed opportunities in the present. By emphasizing the importance of living in the present, the quote conveys the notion that tomorrow has no significance, and waiting until tomorrow or dwelling on the past is futile. The message encourages seizing the day and making the most out of the present, rather than looking backward or forward.
