Whatever is missed from livelihood today may be hoped for tomorrow with increase, but whatever is lost from one’s lifetime yesterday, its return cannot be hoped for today.

24 قَصِّرُوا الأمَلَ، وَبادِرُوا العَمَلَ، وَخافُوا بَغْتَةَ الأجلِ، فَإنَّهُ لَنْ يُرجى مِنْ رَجْعَةِ العُمْرِ ما يُرجى مِنْ رَجْعَةِ الرِّزقِ، ما فاتَ اليَوْمُ مِنَ الرِّزقِ يُرجى غَداً زيادَتُهُ، وما فاتَ أمْسِ مِنَ العُمرِ لَمْ تُرْجَ اليَومَ رَجْعَتُهُ.
