Michael CrichtonPraise not the day until evening has come, a woman until she is burnt, a sword until it is tried, a maiden until she is married, ice until it has been crossed, beer until it has been drunk.
About This Quote
This is a proverb that warns against praising the day before it’s time. The reason for this is simple. We will perform those tasks at the right time, and those tasks will help us to experience and enjoy the proper activities and experiences that we should be having. It’s only when we wait until something is finished that we start to realize what we should have been doing all along. And then we become less than we could have been.
