This quote encourages us to view life as an opportunity for development and self-discovery, rather than merely a series of occasions that take place to us.
"Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. Comes into us at midnight very clean. It's perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands. It hopes we've learned something from yesterday"
