Quote for the week

[lathany]

We're moving offices and therefore my week has been full of crates, packing and doughnuts (the last to assist with the first two). Emptying my desk, I found a 2011 desk diary sent to me by a tapas chain (because I organised the Xmas meal there three years ago). In it, it has a thought for every week - some better than others.

The one for this week is: "Procrastination is the thief of time" (Edward Young).

I like it, but I also think of it as a Prachettism.

My mum used to say that to me a lot, and she's about Pratchett's vintage. I guess it must have been a popular quotation, that stuck in his mind.
(Wonder which Edward Young (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Young_%28disambiguation%29) it was?)

Don't know, I'm afraid.
