God has a time for everything, a perfect schedule. He is never too soon, never too late. The when of His will is as important as the what and the how.

Richard Halverson

There is nothing like the first hot days of spring when the gardener stops wondering if it's too soon to plant the dahlias and starts wondering if it's too late. Even the most beautiful weather will not allay the gardener's notion (well-founded actually) that he is somehow too late, too soon, or that he has too much stuff going on or not enough. For the garden is the stage on which the gardener exults and agonizes out every crest and chasm of the heart.

Henry Mitchell

Time is so old and love so brief, love is pure gold and time a thief. We're late, darling, we're late, The curtain descends, everything ends, too soon, too soon.

Ogden Nash

You cannot do a kindness too soon.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

It is never too late or too soon. It is when it is supposed to be.

Mitch Albom

I don't think there's such a thing as falling in love too easily or falling too fast. Or loving someone too soon or trusting someone too soon... I've never treated two relationships the same. Some people move you and some people don't.

Taylor Swift

I have loved badly, loved the great Too soon, withdrawn my words too late; And eaten in an echoing hall Alone and from a chipped plate The words that I withdrew too late.

Edna St. Vincent Millay

A decision will be made before it's too late or soon thereafter.

Michael Eisner

Life's tragedy is that we get old too soon and wise too late.

Benjamin Franklin

Better three hours too soon than a minute too late.

William Shakespeare

Never say you are too old. You do not say it now, perhaps; but by and by, when the hair grows gray and the eyes grow dim and the young despair comes to curse the old age, you will say, "It is too late for me." Never too late! Never too old! How old are you--thirty, fifty, eighty? What is that in immortality? We are but children.
