Aim for the skies. Dare to start. Start even when you do not know how to fly. Start even when you have no clue how things will work out. Start, even when you may not see the light. Start even when it gets very tough. Start, even when others begin to doubt what was laid in your heart. Just start. Start right now, and the rest will follow as time goes by.
Does our purpose on Earth directly link to the people whom we end up meeting? Are our relationships and experiences actually the required dots that connect and then lead us to our ultimate destinies?
All that’s bright must fade,–The brightest still the fleetest;All that’s sweet was madeBut to be lost when sweetest.
I miss being the age when I thought I’d have my shit together by the time I was the age I am now..
No matter the effort or the price, no matter how hard one tries to escape the time or the place, ultimately nobody can escape love – or fate!
Let us never know what old age is. Let us know the happiness time brings, not count the years.
Sometimes I feel like if you just watch things, just sit still and let the world exist in front of you – sometimes I swear that just for a second time freezes and the world pauses in its tilt. Just for a second. And if you somehow found a way to live in that second, then you would live forever.
Not every field is worth digging. Preserve your energy and time for worthwhile missions.
By taking the time to stop and appreciate who you are and what you’ve achieved – and perhaps learned through a few mistakes, stumbles and losses – you actually can enhance everything about you. Self-acknowledgment and appreciation are what give you the insights and awareness to move forward toward higher goals and accomplishments.
I respect everybody, but at the same time, I carry myself with an aura that demands respect, too.
I listened to time clicking like hooves on pavement. But time isn’t something you can rein in. It moves on without pause, taking us with it no matter how much we wish it otherwise.
Think’st thou existence doth depend on time?It doth; but actions are our epochs: mineHave made my days and nights imperishable,Endless, and all alike, as sands on the shore,Innumerable atoms; and one desert,Barren and cold, on which the wild waves break,But nothing rests, save carcasses and wrecks,Rocks, and the salt-surf weeds of bitterness.
Puberty is such a confusing time. You are still a child, with all that wonderful naivete and innocence, but your body is changing, and you’re self-conscious and curious about its impact on others all at the same time.
Your biggest fear ought to be wasting your life and time, not Am I going to have x number of dollars when I’m 80?
From the void, a spark ignites,A celestial breath, a pulse of wonder,We emerge—fragile, ephemeral—Inhaling galaxies, exhaling dreams,Life molds us like clay,Alchemy of joy and sorrow,Each tear a drop of cosmic ink,Writing stories on our souls.
Anyone who believes that a second is faster than a decade did not live life.
Difficult times help us understand who is a good friend and who is just a friend.
The timeless in you is aware of life’s timelessness. And knows that yesterday is but today’s memory and tomorrow is today’s dream.
Time is the substance from which I am made. Time is a river which carries me along, but I am the river; it is a tiger that devours me, but I am the tiger; it is a fire that consumes me, but I am the fire.

We must reject the idea that every time a law’s broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.
Fashion and music are the same, because music express its period too.
We are like fruitflies, measuring everything in terms of our own lifespan. But since our lifespans are so short, our perspective is entirely wrong.God, who inhabits eternity, sees things differently. He knows that our lives are just a mist. We should trust Him. It was not that long ago that Jesus came and it will not be that long before He returns.
But the place is rank with Time—why shouldn’t I wish to scrape away the strata?
An infinity of passion can be contained in one minute, like a crowd in a small space.
There was only present, and it was infinite. The past and the future were just blinders we wore so that infinity wouldn’t drive us mad.
In the 24 hours you have, there is no spare time. Use each hour sparingly.
Jedina vrednost koja postoji na svetu jeste vreme. Jedna sekunda je uvek sekunda, i o tome nema pregovora.
It was in the nature of those who had long dreamt of Pacific empire to stress the optimism with which George Berkeley opened his quatrain. Few pondered the line with which he closed it:Westward the course of empire takes its way;The first four acts already past.A fifth shall close the drama with the day:Time’s noblest offspring is its last.
I do believe in love; it’s wonderful – especially love third time around, it’s even more precious; it’s kind of amazing.
I haven’t seen him in decades, but I have the feeling that if we got together again, we’d be able to hang out just as we did back then.
At the time I was arrested I had no idea it would turn into this. It was just a day like any other day. The only thing that made it significant was that the masses of the people joined in.
You live in the image you have of the world. Every one of us lives in a different world, with different space and different time.
You become. It takes a long time. That’s why it doesn’t happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in your joints and very shabby.But these things don’t matter at all, because once you are Real you can’t be ugly, except to people who don’t understand.
A person that does not value your time will not value your advice.
Time is my friend when it doesn’t let the bad moments stay but it becomes my enemy when it lets the good moments pass by.
Lost wealth may be replaced by industry, lost knowledge by study, lost health by temperance or medicine, but lost time is gone forever.
The past was a small notebook, much scribbled-upon, that I had somehow mislaid.
Guard against things that steal your time. They are worse than thieves who show up at night.
I fancied my luck to be witnessing yet another full moon. True, I’d seen hundreds of full moons in my life, but they were not limitless. When one starts thinking of the full moon as a common sight that will come again to one’s eyes ad-infinitum, the value of life is diminished and life goes by uncherished. ‘This may be my last moon,’ I sighed, feeling a sudden sweep of sorrow; and went back to reading more of The Odyssey.
And I assure you, I am perfectly sane now. Stable as a workhorse in old Ireland, my friends, with only one goal in life. To do good. Always good.
A job shouldn’t be a mean of existence but rather, a means of sustenance
Everything is Time:Time builds, and Time destroys.Time hurts, and Time heals.God runs and controls Time.All creatures fall under that nature.Escaping from that is impossible.
When I go skiing in New England, I usually wake up early and drive up to Vermont, New Hampshire, or Maine to make it in time for chairlift opening. That means leaving early and getting breakfast at one of the little quaint diners up in the mountains.
The calendar of the Theocracy of Muntab counts down, not up. No-one knows why, but it might not be a good idea to hang around and find out.
Life gives you plenty of time to do whatever you want to do if you stay in the present moment.
I’ve climbed up here holding the hilt of time’s sword by driving it into my tender heart.
The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough.
Time is a funny thing, especially when you enter your heart; it’s as if it doesn’t exist there.
This is what happens when you break with one life to live another–it causes a doubling. Knowing eleven at night here is seven in the morning there. Some part of you is always in conversation with that other self.
No life goes past so swiftly as an eventless one, no clock spins like a clock whose days are all alike.
We are remarkably primitive, compared to Um-Helat. Time flows the same in both worlds, but people there have not wasted themselves on crushing one another into submission, and this makes a remarkable difference.
It is unworthy of excellent men to lose hours like slaves in the labour of calculation which could safely be relegated to anyone else if machines were used.(Describing, in 1685, the value to astronomers of the hand-cranked calculating machine he had invented in 1673.)
The river of time flows in one direction; those who swim against it drown in regret.
Knowing you are alive is watching on every side your generation’s short time falling away as fast as rivers drop through air, and feeling it hit.
I believe that whatever comes at a particular time is a blessing from God.
But thoughts, the slave of life, and life, time’s fool,And time, that takes survey of all the world,Must have a stop.
It’s time to say goodbye, but I think goodbyes are sad and I’d much rather say hello. Hello to a new adventure.
It took me a long time not to judge myself through someone else’s eyes.
