The great French Marshal Lyautey once asked his gardener to plant a tree. The gardener objected that the tree was slow growing and would not reach maturity for 100 years. The Marshal replied, 'In that case, there is no time to lose; plant it this afternoon!' —John F. Kennedy (1917 - 1963)

re quote of day attributed to John F. Kennedy
nice quote. Did French Marshal Lyautey live just prior to or just beyond, 1790 -- The French Revolution -- about to lose his head/life? :-)
