Quote by Edwin C. Bliss

Yesterday is a canceled check: Forget it. Tomorrow is a promissory note: Don't count on it. Today is ready cash: Use it!

Yesterday is a canceled check: Forget it. Tomorrow is a prom

Summary

This quote advises individuals to focus on the present rather than dwelling on the past or relying too heavily on the future. The analogy of a canceled check is used to suggest that events and experiences of the past should be forgotten, as they are already completed and cannot be changed. The notion of a promissory note refers to the uncertainty of the future, cautioning against depending too much on future plans. Instead, the quote emphasizes the significance of the present moment and urges individuals to make use of the opportunities and resources available to them now.
