It seems unpleasantly refined to put things off till someone knows.
Fake it till you make it actually worked.
There are children born to be children, and others who must mark time till they can take their natural places as adults.
I'm hunger. I'm thirst. Where I bite, I hold till I die, and even after death they must cut out my mouthful from my enemy's body and bury it with me. I can fast a hundred years and not die. I can lie a hundred nights on the ice and not freeze. I can drink a river of blood and not burst. Show me your enemies.
Love comes into your being like a tidal wave. . . sometimes it withdraws like a wave, till there isn't such a thing as a pool left, and every bit of your heart is as dry as seaweed beyond the wave's reach.
We cannot heal the throbbing heart till we discern the wounds within.

I reached this level by sheer dint of hard work, toiling away at scores of tricks and experiments. I used to play with the ball from dawn till dusk and just kept practising.

I have worked like a galley slave throughout these eight years, morning till night, and I have given all I could to this work. I am happy with the results.
Find me playing till sunrise for 50 cents and a sandwich.
Never put off till tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow.
One must wait till it comes.
