“Hadapilah hari ini! Inilah saatnya untuk menuntut hidup yang nyata, Dalam rentang waktu yang pendek ini, kita mendapat kesempatan untuk: Berkembang dengan gembira, bertindak dengan mulia. Menciptakan keindahan yang mempesona, Karena hari kemarin cuma mimpi dan hari esok cuma bayang-bayang. Tapi bila hari ini kita jalani dengan baik, setiap hari kemarin akan menjadi mimpi yang indah. Dan setiap hari esok menjadi bayang-bayang harapan. Jadi manfaatkanlah hari ini sebaik-baiknya.”

“Listen to the Exhortation of the Dawn! Look to this Day! For it is Life, the very Life of Life. In its brief course lie all the Verities and Realities of your Existence. The Bliss of Growth, The Glory of Action, The Splendor of Beauty; For Yesterday is but a Dream, And To-morrow is only a Vision; But To-day well lived makes Every Yesterday a Dream of Happiness, And every Tomorrow a Vision of Hope. Look well therefore to this Day! Such is the Salutation of the Dawn!”
