A Quote by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Today is the blocks with which we build. — © Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Today is the blocks with which we build.
For the structure that we raise, Time is with materials filled; Our to-days and yesterdays Are the blocks with which we build.
Imagine blocks and blocks of no cocaine, blocks with no gun play.
On the other hand, we raised $25 million by going public. It's that money that we used to build this company, to build the circulation, to build a high profile and to hire staff that made Salon what it is today.
If it takes several billion years to develop the building blocks which you need, like RNA and DNA, and then those can build multicellular life and then multicellular life can be honed with natural selection to a point where it becomes sentient like us, then at some point that sentient being can begin to manipulate the matter around it to build better sentient life.
The basic confrontation which seemed to be colonialism versus anti-colonialism, indeed capitalism versus socialism, is already losing its importance. What matters today, the issue which blocks the horizon, is the need for a redistribution of wealth. Humanity will have to address this question, no matter how devastating the consequences may be.
Spatial intelligence is virtually left out of formal education. In kindergarten we give children blocks and sand with which to build. Then we take those things away for the next twelve years of their education and expect kids to be architects and engineers.
A grass blade believes that men build palaces for it to grow in. Grass wedges its way between the closest blocks of marble and it brings them down. This power of feeble life which can creep in anywhere is greater than that of the mighty behind their cannons.
What do little kids do? They crawl on the floor and they build with blocks. I just continued to do that for the rest of my life.
Of all the rocks upon which we build our lives, we are reminded today that family is the most important.
The accent today is on results, not on how well you work. You can't build a skyscraper in a day, but you can build a shack.
The people with money to build today are corporations - they are our popes and Medicis. The sense of pride is why they build.
A woman asked me recently, "What are the blocks to my happiness?" I said, "The belief that you have blocks."
If you believe developers will build applications from scratch using web services as primitive building blocks, then the operating system becomes the Internet.
You go out there and ask them what their future is today. If we don't build that today, there's nothing.
My mind is in another planet behind the blocks. Sometimes I'm up in the blocks, and I'm like, 'What am I doing here?' I'm just not trying to think too much.
The past is what provides us with the building blocks. Our job today is to create new buildings out of them.
