Procrastination Quotes:
“You never know how soon it may be too late.”
"Procrastination
. . . is the thief of our self-respect. It nags
us and spoils our fun. It deprives us of the fullest
realization
of our ambitions and hopes."
Thomas S. Monson
(Brigham
Young University on February 8, 1966)
"Fools look to tomorow; wise men use tonight."
Scottish Proverb
"Today is the wise man's day, tomorrow is the fool's
day.
The
wise man is the one when he sees what ought
to be done, does it today. The foolish man, when he sees
what
ought to be done,
says, 'I
will do it tomorrow.'"
“Know the true value of time; snatch, seize, and enjoy every moment of
it. No idleness, no delay, no procrastination;
never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.”
Earl of Chesterfield

Joseph
Fielding Smith, in his April 1969 conference message, said that

"Procrastination of vital tasks is a close relative of incompetence and

President Spencer W. Kimball was right when
he wrote:
"One of the most serious human
defects in all ages is
procrastination," and then he defined it: "an unwillingness to accept
personal responsibility now" (The Teachings of Spencer W.
Kimball, ed. Edward L. Kimball [1982], 48).
