Don't be fooled by the calendar. There are only as many days in the year as you make use of. One man gets only a week's value out of a year while another man gets a full year's value out of a week.
Charles Richards
There is here no measuring with time, no year matters, and ten years are nothing.

It does come. I learn it daily, learn it with pain, to which I am grateful…

Time is the school in which we learn, time is the fire in which we burn.
Delmore Schwartz
The greatest loss of time is delay and expectation, which depend upon the future. We let go the present, which we have in our power, and look forward to that which depends upon chance, and so relinquish a certainty for an uncertainty.
Marcus Annaeus Seneca (BC 3-65 AD, Roman philosopher, dramatist, statesman)
Ah! the clock is always slow; it is later than you think.

Don't serve time, make time serve you
William Sutton
The longest day must have its close -- the gloomiest night will wear on to a morning. An eternal, inexorable lapse of moments is ever hurrying the day of the evil to an eternal night, and the night of the just to an eternal day.
Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811-1896, American novelist, antislavery campaigner)

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven.
The Holy Bible (Sacred scriptures of Christians and Judaism) Source: Ecclesiastes 3:1
In eternity there is indeed something true and sublime. But all these times and places and occasions are now and here. God himself culminates in the present moment and will never be more divine in the lapse of the ages. Time is but a stream I go a-fishing in. I drink at it, but when I drink I see the sandy bottom and detect how shallow it is. Its thin current slides away but eternity remains.
Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862, American essayist, poet, naturalist)

What comes first, the compass or the clock? Before one can truly manage time (the clock), it is important to know where you are going, what your priorities and goals are, in which direction you are headed (the compass). Where you are headed is more important than how fast you are going. Rather than always focusing on what's urgent, learn to focus on what is really important.
