The present time has one advantage over every other – it is our own.
If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you’ll never get it done.
Time sometimes flies like a bird, sometimes crawls like a snail; but a man is happiest when he does not even notice whether it passes swiftly or slowly.
In times like these, it helps to recall that there have always been times like these.
It is my feeling that Time ripens all things; with Time all things are revealed; Time is the father of truth.
What then is time? If no one asks me, I know what it is. If I wish to explain it to him who asks, I do not know.
Time and memory are true artists; they remould reality nearer to the heart’s desire.
And when is there time to remember, to sift, to weigh, to estimate, to total?
Finding some quiet time in your life, I think, is hugely important.
Time is what prevents everything from happening at once.
Let the refining and improving of your own life keep you so busy that you have little time to criticize others.
So during those first moments of the day, which are yours and yours alone, you can circumvent these boundaries and concentrate fully on spiritual matters. And this gives you the opportunity to plan the time management of the entire day.
Time is a sort of river of passing events, and strong is its current; no sooner is a thing brought to sight than it is swept by and another takes its place, and this too will be swept away.
Nothing puzzles me more than the time and space; and yet nothing troubles me less.
When you go to war as a boy, you have a great illusion of immortality. Other people get killed, not you… Then, when you are badly wounded the first time, you lose that illusion, and you know it can happen to you.
The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.
Truth is like the sun. You can shut it out for a time, but it ain’t goin’ away.
Do not wait; the time will never be ‘just right.’ Start where you stand, and work with whatever tools you may have at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along.
Peace is a journey of a thousand miles and it must be taken one step at a time.
Never cut a tree down in the wintertime. Never make a negative decision in the low time. Never make your most important decisions when you are in your worst moods. Wait. Be patient. The storm will pass. The spring will come.
You can’t be afraid to fail. It’s the only way you succeed – you’re not gonna succeed all the time, and I know that.
In all our deeds, the proper value and respect for time determines success or failure.
The only thing wrong with immortality is that it tends to go on forever.
Time, whose tooth gnaws away everything else, is powerless against truth.
It would take six months to get to Mars if you go there slowly, with optimal energy cost. Then it would take eighteen months for the planets to realign. Then it would take six months to get back, though I can see getting the travel time down to three months pretty quickly if America has the will.
Do the one thing you think you cannot do. Fail at it. Try again. Do better the second time. The only people who never tumble are those who never mount the high wire. This is your moment. Own it.
All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.
I learned that we can do anything, but we can’t do everything… at least not at the same time. So think of your priorities not in terms of what activities you do, but when you do them. Timing is everything.
So long as you have food in your mouth, you have solved all questions for the time being.
No trait is more justified than revenge in the right time and place.
This is no time for ease and comfort. It is time to dare and endure.
You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don’t try to forget the mistakes, but you don’t dwell on it. You don’t let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space.
I like refried beans. That’s why I wanna try fried beans, because maybe they’re just as good and we’re just wasting time. You don’t have to fry them again after all.
You win a race, the next race it’s a question mark. Are you still the best or not? That’s what is funny. But that’s what is interesting. And that’s what is challenging. You have to prove yourself every time.
People always tell you, ‘Be humble. Be humble.’ When was the last time someone told you to be amazing? Be great! Be great! Be awesome! Be awesome!
We are drowning in information, while starving for wisdom. The world henceforth will be run by synthesizers, people able to put together the right information at the right time, think critically about it, and make important choices wisely.
Leadership to me means duty, honor, country. It means character, and it means listening from time to time.
Only in our dreams are we free. The rest of the time we need wages.
Drugs are a waste of time. They destroy your memory and your self-respect and everything that goes along with with your self-esteem. They’re no good at all.
