Quotes about Yesterday


O, call back yesterday, bid time return!

William Shakespeare

But yesterday the word of Cæsar might
Have stood against the world; now lies he there,
And none so poor to do him reverence.

William Shakespeare

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

William Shakespeare

Not poppy, nor mandragora,
Nor all the drowsy syrups of the world,
Shall ever medicine thee to that sweet sleep
Which thou owedst yesterday.

William Shakespeare

Great families of yesterday we show,
And lords, whose parents were the Lord knows who.

Daniel Defoe

Whose yesterdays look backwards with a smile.

Edward Young

Yesterday the greatest question was decided which ever was debated in America; and a greater perhaps never was, nor will be, decided among men. A resolution was passed without one dissenting colony, that those United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States.

John Adams

A man he seems of cheerful yesterdays
And confident to-morrows.

William Wordsworth

The world goes up and the world goes down,
And the sunshine follows the rain;
And yesterday's sneer and yesterday's frown
Can never come over again.

Charles Kingsley

The tasks are done and the tears are shed.
Yesterday's errors let yesterday cover;
Yesterday's wounds, which smarted and bled,
Are healed with the healing that night has shed.

Sarah Chauncey (Susan Coolidge) Woolsey

Mark how fleeting and paltry is the estate of man,--yesterday in embryo, to-morrow a mummy or ashes. So for the hair's-breadth of time assigned to thee live rationally, and part with life cheerfully, as drops the ripe olive, extolling the season that bore it and the tree that matured it.

Marcus Aurelius

A thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.

Old Testament

Yesterday, and to-day, and forever.

New Testament

Yesterday's hunger cannot be stilled with tomorrow's food

It is difficult to say what is impossible, for the dream of yesterday is the hope of today and the reality of tomorrow.

Yesterday is a canceled check; tomorrow is a promissory note; today is the only cash you have. Spend it wisely.

You can't have a better tomorrow if you are thinking about yesterday all the time.

Charles F. Kettering

We often borrow from our tomorrows to pay our debts to our yesterdays.

Kahlil Gibran

If today is the first day of the rest of your life, what was yesterday?

I can't go back to yesterday, because I was a different person then.

Lewis Carroll [Through the Looking Glass]
