The bad news is time flies. The good news is you're the pilot.
Michael Altshuler

Time is clay. Go make something.
Barbara Bach

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven; A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance.
Ecclesiastes 3:1,2,4

The Greeks had two words for time. Chronos is the time we usually keep an eye on. Kairos was our participation of time. Time that moves us so that we lose our sense of time; timeless time; moments at which the clocks seems to stop; feeding, renewing, more motherly time. It’s the time with which we feel one instead of outside of it, the self, the tao, the love that connects us to others.
Jean Shinoda Bolen

Take time to deliberate; but when the time for action arrives, stop thinking and go in.
Napoleon Bonaparte

Being rich is having money; being wealthy is having time.
Margaret Bonnano

I believe you are your work. Don’t trade the stuff of your life, time, for nothing more than dollars. That’s a rotten bargain.
Rita Mae Brown

I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read, and all the friends I want to see. The longer I live, the more my mind dwells upon the beauty and the wonder of the world.
John Burroughs

Death is a challenge. It tells us not to waste time…It tells us to tell each other right now that we love each other.
Leo Buscaglia

In order to have a real relationship with our creativity, we must take the time and care to cultivate it.
Julia Cameron

Life is all about timing…the unreachable becomes reachable, the unavailable become available, the unattainable…attainable. Have the patience, wait it out. It’s all about timing.
Stacey Charter

Just like the butterfly, I too will awaken in my own time.
Deborah Chaskin

I dare you, while there is still time, to have a magnificent obsession.
William Danforth

A schedule defends from chaos and whim. It is a net for catching days. It is a scaffolding on which a worker can stand and labor with both hands at sections of time.
Annie Dillard

How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives.
Annie Dillard

Time is the physician that heals every grief.
Diphilus

Guard well you spare moments. They are like uncut diamonds. Discard them and their value will never be known. Improve them and they will become the brightest gems in a useful life.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Nothing great is created suddenly, any more than a bunch of grapes or a fig. If you tell me that you desire a fig, I answer you that there must be time. Let if first blossom, then bear fruit, then ripen.
Epictetus

The most important thing is to hold on, hold out, for your creative life, for your solitude, for your time to be and do, for your very life.
Clarissa Pinkola Estes

Now is the time to know that all that you do is sacred.
Hafiz

Regret for the things we did can be tempered by time; it is regret for the things we did not do that is inconsolable.
Sydney J. Harris

Don't wait. The time will never be just right.
Napoleon Hill

The feeling of being hurried is not usually the result of living a full life and having no time, it is on the contrary born of a vague fear that we are wasting our life. When we do not do the one thing we ought to do, we have no time for anything else – we are the busiest people in the world.
Eric Hoffer

Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
Steve Jobs

We must use time as a tool, not as a crutch.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy

The time is always right to do what is right.
Martin Luther King, Jr.

Time takes it all, whether you want it to or not. Time takes it all, time bears it away, and in the end there is only darkness. Sometimes we find others in that darkness, and sometimes we lose them there again.
Stephen King

If you nurture your mind, body, and spirit, your time will expand. You will gain a new perspective that will allow you to accomplish more.
Brian Koslow

There will be a time when you believe everything is finished. That will be the beginning.
Louis L'Amour

Success is how you collect your minutes. You spend millions of minutes to reach one triumph, one moment, then you spend maybe a thousand minutes enjoying it. If you were unhappy through those millions of minutes, what good is the thousand minutes of triumph? It doesn’t equate… Life is made of small pleasures. Good eye contact over the breakfast table with your wife. A moment of touching a friend. Happiness is made of those tiny successes. The big ones come too infrequently. If you don’t have all those zillions of tiny successes, the big ones don’t mean anything.
Norman Lear

Nothing fruitful ever comes when plants are forced to flower in the wrong season.
Bette Bao Lord

Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer’s day, listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time.
Sir John Lubbock

Yesterday is a canceled check; tomorrow is a promissory note; today is the only cash you have – so spend it wisely.
Kay Lyons

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.
Dan Millman

Sometimes being a friend means mastering the art of timing. There is a time for silence. A time to let go and allow people to hurl themselves into their own destiny. And a time to prepare to pick up the pieces when it's all over.
Gloria Naylor

There is one thing stronger than all the armies in the world; and that is an idea whose time has come.
Isaac Newton

So come with me, where dreams are born, and time is never planned. Just think of happy things, and your heart will fly on wings, forever, in Never Never Land!
Peter Pan

I value my time. I choose to use it wisely and do not let others steal it from me.
Paula Peisner

You rarely have time for everything you want in this life, so you have to make choices, and hopefully your choices can come from a deep sense of who you are.
Fred Rogers

Time is more valuable than money. You can get more money, but you can’t get more time.
Jim Rohn

If you want to attract a life partner as your soul mate, there are several illusions you will need to relinquish. One is that your soul mate is someone you will be with for the rest of your life. You can have a soul mate relationship that lasts a few weeks, months, or years. Time has nothing to do with the quality of your connection and its importance in your life.
Sanaya Roman

Come out of the circle of time and into the circle of love.
Rumi

The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time.
Bertrand Russell

To read is to voyage through time.
Carl Sagan

We are like butterflies who flutter for a day and think it is forever.
Carl Sagan

This is perhaps the most beautiful time in human history; it is really pregnant with all kinds of creative possibilities made possible by science and technology which now constitute the slave of man – if man is not enslaved by it.
Jonas Salk

Life is like an ice-cream cone, you have to lick it one day at a time.
Charles M. Schulz

When you play it too safe, you're taking the biggest risk of your life. Time is the only wealth we're given.

Brian Tracy

I didn't have time to write a short letter, so I wrote a long one instead.
Mark Twain

Don't be a time manager, be a priority manager. Cut your major goals into bite-sized pieces. Each small priority or requirement on the way to ultimate goal become a mini goal in itself.
Denis Waitley

They say that time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.
Andy Warhol

Children spell love... T-I-M-E.
