Dimidium facti, qui coepit, habet; sapere aude, incipe.
Viuendi qui recte prorogat horam,
rusticus expectat dum defluat amnis;
at ille labitur et labetur in omne uolubilis aeuum.
Who’s started has half finished: dare to be wise: begin!
He who postpones the time for right-living resembles
The rustic who’s waiting until the river’s passed by:
Yet it glides on, and will roll on, gliding forever.
-Horace, Epistles, Book I, Epistle II
