Ever from one who comes to-morrow
Men wait their good and truth to borrow.

Days that need borrow
No part of their good morrow
From a fore-spent night of sorrow.

 

Richard Crashaw

 

Pack, clouds, away! and welcome, day!
With night we banish sorrow.
Sweet air, blow soft; mount, lark, aloft
To give my Love good-morrow!
Wings from the wind to please her mind,
Notes from the lark I'll borrow:
Bird, prune thy wing! nightingale, sing!

 

Thomas Heywood

 

Truth does not need to borrow garments from error. (Also translated as: Truth does not need to borrow garments from falsehood.)

 

Jose Rizal

 

It’s because I wait, I wait until it’s there again. Whatever is there (in the eye of the camera, fh) is a truth, but a truth you have to believe in. What you see in front of you is a fact. You click when you believe it’s the truth. The information is waiting to become in essence a concentration, concentrated so clearly that it can be projected back into real life, into your recognition. It could be any size.

 

Robert Rauschenberg

 

To-morrow's action! Can that hoary wisdom,
Borne down with years, still doat upon tomorrow!
That fatal mistress of the young, the lazy,
The coward, and the fool, condemn'd to lose
A useless life in waiting for to-morrow,
To gaze with longing eyes upon to-morrow,
Till interposing death destroys the prospect
Strange! that this general fraud from day to day
Should fill the world with wretches undetected.
The soldier, labouring through a winter's march,
Still sees to-morrow drest in robes of triumph;
Still to the lover's long-expecting arms
To-morrow brings the visionary bride.
But thou, too old to hear another cheat,
Learn, that the present hour alone is man's.

 

Samuel Johnson
