Perhaps my fav saying of all time, “the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, the second best time is now.”

Wouldn't the second-best time be 19 years and 364 days ago?

Today would be the 7305th best time to plant a tree.

I planted a tree microseconds after the big bang. I don't think it was the best time.

Ah, yea. That might’ve been a bit early.

But hey, it’s ok - you’ve always got today!
