“We must use time wisely and forever realize that the time is always ripe to do right.” nelson Mandela

In the book

Do not waste your hours, and do not then waste more of them grieving the ones you wasted; regret for lost time is only more lost time, and the cure is always the same — to spend the next hour well. The single most useful thing I know about a whole life is the saying that the time is always ripe to do what is right; whatever you have been putting off — the apology, the visit, the beginning — the right hour is the one you are in. Borrow, too, the habit that steadied Steve Jobs for decades: look in the mirror each morning and ask whether, if today were your last, you would want to spend it the way you are about to. — Time
