Seize today and put as little trust as you can in tomorrow.
The tendency of humanity is towards the forbidden.

Fortune, delighting in her cruel task, and playing her wanton game untiringly, is ever shifting her uncertain favours.
As we speak cruel time is fleeing. Seize the day, believing as little as possible in tomorrow.
