I’ve wasted all those yesterdays and am completely out of tomorrows
I feel sorry for kids these days. They get so much homework. Remember the days when we put a belt around our two books and carried them home? Now they’re dragging a suitcase. They have school all day, then homework from six until eleven. There’s no time left to be creative.
Sometimes, your dreams will seem too big, but when you create more time to work on them, you will achieve more. Do not let the size intimidate you, break them down into smaller goals.
I do not know what she was thinking, but I was remembering the years we have lived together, yet never together, and what a waste they have been–of each other, and of love, which is the most unpardonable waste there is. Love and time, those are the only two things in all the world and all of life that cannot be bought, but only spent.
I have no faith in human perfectibility. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active – not more happy – nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago.
A man begins cutting his wisdom teeth the first time he bites off more than he can chew.
In this marvelous dispensation of the fulness of times, our opportunities to give of ourselves are indeed limitless, but they are also perishable.
Only in our dreams are we free. The rest of the time we need wages.
Time doesn’t stop or give warning. It simply ticks along, marking time, ignoring humanity.
Boredom is the feeling that everything is a waste of time; serenity, that nothing is.
If this work can contribute in any way toward proving this, and at the same time arouse the conscience of the American people to a demand for justice to every citizen, and punishment by law for the lawless, I shall feel I have done my race a service.
Where the body began its slow dance with death, one falling leaf at a time, one sunset after the other, the spirit livened with every moment, with every realization that time was a gift far more precious than wealth.
I had come to experience time differently. The world I was typing was always in the past while the word I was thinking of was always in the future, which left the present oddly uninhabited.
And So It Came To Pass That The Hourglass Orifices Hexagonal Prismatics At Its Sandy Zenith, And In Its Glass Nor Empty Nor Half Xor Full Time Consumed, Was The Tomb Of King Leoric, The Crown, And The Topaz Orange Elixir Of Magic Portal Up To Town
The months run away from you like a flurry of autumn leaves bowling and skittering towards the winter …
They keep track of time. Sometimes things happen and you feel that you need to mark them down.
And grief still feels like fear. Perhaps, more strictly, like suspense. Or like waiting; just hanging about waiting for something to happen. It gives life a permanently provisional feeling. It doesn’t seem worth starting anything. I can’t settle down. I yawn, fidget, I smoke too much. Up till this I always had too little time. Now there is nothing but time. Almost pure time, empty successiveness.
Time changes the places that knew us, and if we go back after years, still even then it is not the same spot; the gate swings differently, new thatch has been put on the old gables, the road has been widened, and the sward the driven sheep lingered on has gone.(Wild Flowers)
My mission is to kill time, and time’s to kill me in its turn. How comfortable one is among murderers.
My love perches on the words of a foreigner’s language, always arriving late, too late, or never at all.
Time, which changes people, does not alter the image we have retained of them.
I can’t imagine there has ever been a more gratifying time or place to be alive than America in the 1950s. No country had ever known such prosperity.
Time waits for no one, but wealth ensures time doesn’t even blink.
When illness and old age are no longer indulgent and strength is irrevocably seeping away, brightness fades insidiously away from the light of the day and time only betrays reckless evanescence. (“Into a new life”)
Acting deals with very delicate emotions. It is not putting up a mask. Each time an actor acts he does not hide; he exposes himself.
Time and health are two precious assets that we don’t recognize and appreciate until they have been depleted.
When the brain becomes too tired, the mind stops decrypting the perceptions in our mental world and surrenders willingly to the unguarded moments of life.For some time, the safeguards of our thinking pattern weaken and discontinue the decoding of the chips of daily reality.The mind picks the instants which are above suspicion, pure and innocent. (Uber alle Gipfeln ist Ruh )
In fact, looking at the data for the blackbody radiation (passive heat emissions) of many experiments, it cannot be assured that they aren’t already naturally splintered across timelines, because they already agree with Mynt’s formula better than Planck’s law. The means that the sun not only holds us in orbit, it connects us in time.
Gather ye rose-buds while ye may,Old Time is still a-flying;And this same flower that smiles today, Tomorrow will be dying.
If you’re being ignored, that’s a good time to concentrate on finding yourself and creating your own mystery.
Time can be a greedy thing-sometimes it steals the details for itself.
Temporis filia veritas; cui me obstetricari non pudet.Truth is the daughter of time, and I feel no shame in being her midwife.
Time of rest and reflection is never time wasted but wisely invested
Time is a fleeting thing, a precious gift of life’s days, It comes and goes, a bird with swift wings. How I wish I could have more time, but time is fleeting, like a passing breeze, it moves fast and cannot be grasped, it’s there one day, gone the next. Of this precious gift I give you mine because you are worth every second spent.
Being a big guy, you face certain challenges. Over time, though, women found excuses to find me attractive.
Time has no meaning in itself unless we choose to give it significance
We’re not really conscious of what we’re doing most of the time.
You can’t have it all, all at once. Who – man or woman – has it all, all at once? Over my lifespan, I think I have had it all. But in different periods of time, things were rough. And if you have a caring life partner, you help the other person when that person needs it.
There are some things which cannot be learned quickly, and time, which is all we have, must be paid heavily for their acquiring. They are the very simplest things and because it takes a man’s life to know them the little that each man gets from life is very costly and the only heritage he has to leave.
As he descended, he watched a pair of turkey vultures dip and bank over the tree canopy, the invisible vectors on which they drifted only known to them and known in their blood for eons. He considered what he now knew in his blood, thoseunsettling truths he’d carry with him into an unknown future, and probably to his grave.
You can’t buy time, Nick. Ever. It’s the only thing in life you can’t get most of, and it’s the one thing that will mercilessly tear you up when it’s gone. It takes no pity on no soul and no heart.
Our days are numbered. One of the primary goals in our lives should be to prepare for our last day. The legacy we leave is not just in our possessions, but in the quality of our lives. What preparations should we be making now? The greatest waste in all of our earth, which cannot be recycled or reclaimed, is our waste of the time that God has given us each day.
Nature intended me for the tranquil pursuits of science, by rendering them my supreme delight. But the enormities of the times in which I have lived, have forced me to take a part in resisting them, and to commit myself on the boisterous ocean of political passions.
I am not particularly interested insaving time; I prefer to enjoy it.
The truth is of course is that there is no journey. We are arriving and departing all at the same time.
The most frightening Enemy, the most neutral Companion and the best Friend: Time.
You will not be young forever, so learn to use the time you have like a rare treasure.
… I thought about how the medium of music is time, how if time stopped, a painting would exist unchanged but music would vanish, like a wave without an ocean.
I wanted to play Dracula because I wanted to say: ‘I’ve crossed oceans of time to find you.’ It was worth playing the role just to say that line.
Whether it’s the best of times or the worst of times, it’s the only time we’ve got.
I know that your soul is on life support and that you feel lost and like you’re completely spinning out of control, but you’re finding yourself — here, tonight… even in this darkness.
It’s not that we have to quit this life one day, it’s how many things we have to quit all at once: holding hands, hotel rooms, music, the physics of falling leaves, vanilla and jasmine, poppies, smiling, anthills, the color of the sky, coffee and cashmere, literature, sparks and subway trains… If only one could leave this life slowly!
Every time people struggle, they survive, they do better, and then they forget, and they end up back where they started from.
