Eleanor Roosevelt wrote this poem and was thanked in a letter by recipient Mrs Irene Lynch.
ELEANOR ROOSEVELT. TLS: "Eleanor Roosevelt", 1p, 6x8½. New York, 1951 March 6. To Mrs. Irene Lynch, R.N., New York. In full: "Thank you very much for your letter and the copy of your poem. You are very kind to write to me." Eleanor Roosevelt wrote an oft-quoted poem Footprints In Your Heart ending with: "Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is mystery. Today is a gift."
It ends with the quote for which you are searching.
Footprints In Your Heart
Many people will walk in and out of your life,
But only true friends will leave footprints in your heart.
To handle yourself, use your head;
To handle others, use your heart.
Anger is only one letter short of danger.
If someone betrays you once, it is his fault;
If he betrays you twice, it is your fault.
Great minds discuss ideas,
Average minds discuss events,
Small minds discuss people.
He who loses money, loses much;
He who loses a friend, loses much more;
He who loses faith, loses all.
Beautiful young people are accidents of nature,
But beautiful old people are works of art.
Learn from the mistakes of others.
You can't live long enough to make them all yourself.
Friends, you and me.
You brought another friend,
And then there were three.
We started our group,
Our circle of friends,
And like that circle -
There is no beginning or end.
Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow is mystery.
Today is a gift.
That's why it's called the present.*
Eleanor Roosevelt

This may not be the exact quote you seek but I think it deserves a place amongst your answers.
Look to this this day,
For it is life; the very life of life,
In it's brief course lie all the verities and realities of your existence;
The bliss of growth -
The glory of action
The splendour of beauty -
For yesterday is already a dream -
And tomorrow is only a vision.
But today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness
And every tomorrow a vision of hope.
Look well, therefore to this day.
