Andy Warhol:
They say that time changes things, but you actually have to change
them yourself.
How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives.
Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that the stuff
life is made of.
The future is something which everyone reaches at the rate of sixty
minutes an hour, whatever he does, whoever he is.
Time is a companion that goes with us on a journey. It reminds us
to cherish each moment, because it will never come again. What we
leave behind is not as important as how we have lived.
played by Patrick Stewart, from the film "Star Trek: Generations"
Time spent with cats is never wasted.
For everything there is a season,
And a time for every matter under heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die;
A time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal;
A time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to throw away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to seek, and a time to lose;
A time to keep, and a time to throw away;
A time to tear, and a time to sew;
A time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate,
A time for war, and a time for peace.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
To live is so startling it leaves little time for anything else.
Events in our lives happen in a sequence in time, but in their significance
to ourselves they find their own order the continuous thread of revelation.
The finest workers in stone are not copper or steel tools, but the
gentle touches of air and water working at their leisure with a liberal
allowance of time.
Lost, yesterday, somewhere between Sunrise and Sunset, two golden
hours, each set with sixty diamond minutes. No reward is offered,
for they are gone forever.
Time is the only comforter for the loss of a mother.
Time is neutral and does not change things. With
courage and initiative, leaders change things.
By labor we can find food and water, but all of our
labor will not find for us another hour.
Time and tide wait for no man. A pompous and self-satisfied
proverb, and was true for a billion years; but in our day of electric
wires and water-ballast we turn it around: Man waits not for time nor
tide.
Love seems the swiftest, but it is the slowest of
all growths. No man or woman really knows what perfect love is until
they have been married a quarter of a century.
Love vanquishes time. To lovers, a moment can be eternity, eternity
can be the tick of a clock.
Mrs. Manley:
No time like the present.
Paul Bowles:
... we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. Yet everything
happens only a certain number of times, and a very small number, really.
How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your
childhood, some afternoon that's so deeply a part of your being that
you can't even conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four or five
times more. perhaps not even that. How many more times will you watch
the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty. And yet it all seems limitless.
Rumi:
Come out of the circle of time
And into the circle of love.
Salman Rushdie:
Reality is a question of perspective; the further you get from the
past, the more concrete and plausible it seems -- but as you approach
the present, it inevitably seems incredible.
Thomas Paine:
Time makes more converts than reason.
Thomas Paine:
If there must be trouble let it be in my day, that my child may have
peace.
W. Somerset Maugham:
It's no good trying to keep up old friendships. It's painful for
both sides. The fact is, one grows out of people, and the only thing
is to face it.
Will Rogers:
Half our life is spent trying to find something to do with the time
we have rushed through life trying to save.
