Proverbs 27:1Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.
James 4:14Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
tomorrow is the only day that really appeals to the lazy man
