Ответ

a What was true or valid in the past is not necessarily so today because circumstances change;

b People who do a lot are the people who have most energy. However busy they are, they can usually manage something more;

c Each succeeding generation has its own way of life and standard of behaviour;

d To procrastinate is to delay, to put off doing something. Procrastinating — deferring things from day to day — wastes a lot of time and usually ends in nothing being done at all;

e Do not delay taking action. If you wish to go to sea, do not miss the tide. Neither tide nor time will tarry for you. In a wider sense, if an opportunity presents itself, decide quickly and act promptly;

f However great our grief or disappointment may be, in the course of time it will lessen. In this sense our “wounds” heal with time;

g These words are a line from Longfellow. When we are idle we do nothing by which future generations may remember us.
