How you spend your time is more important than how you spend your money. Money mistakes can be corrected, but time is gone forever. . -David Norris.
Nobody sees a flower really; it is so small. We haven't time, and to see takes time - like to have a friend takes time. -Georgia O'Keeffe.
One must learn a different... sense of time, one that depends more on small amounts than big ones.
Synchronicity is God sending us messages anonymously.
But what minutes! Count them by sensation, and not by calendars, and each moment is a day.
Time is an equal opportunity employer. Each human being has exactly the same number of hours and minutes every day. Rich people can't buy more hours. Scientists can't invent new minutes. And you can't save time to spend it on another day. Even so, time is amazingly fair and forgiving. No matter how much time you've wasted in the past, you still have an entire tomorrow.
Life, lift the full goblet--away with all sorrow-- The circle of friendship what freedom would sever? To-day is our own, and a fig for to-morrow-- Here's to the Fourth and our country forever.
There's a health to poverty; it sticks by us when all friends forsake us.
May the hinges of friendship never rust, or the wings of luve lose a feather.
As no roads are so rough as those that have just been mended, so no sinners are so intolerant as those that have just turned saints.
Some say "to-morrow" never comes, A saying oft thought right; But if to-morrow never came, No end were of "to-night." The fact is this, time flies so fast, That e'er we've time to say "To-morrow's come," presto! behold! "To-morrow" proves "To-day."
Live each day the fullest you can, not guaranteeing there'll be a tomorrow, not dwelling endlessly on yesterday.
The expectations of life depend upon diligence; the mechanic that would perfect his work must first sharpen his tools.
What the American public wants in the theater is a tragedy with a happy ending.
I should like to spend the whole of my life in travelling abroad, if I could anywhere borrow another life to spend afterwards at home.
One main factor in the upward trend of animal life has been the power of wandering.
Everywhere is nowhere. When a person spends all his time in foreign travel, he ends by having many acquaintances, but no friends.
Treachery, though at first very cautious, in the end betrays itself. [Lat., Ipsa se fraus, etiamsi initio cautior fuerit, detegit.]
No wise man ever thought that a traitor should be trusted. [Lat., Nemo unquam sapiens proditori credendum putavit.]
Thou know'st, great son, The end of war's uncertain, but this certain, That, if thou conquer Rome, the benefit Which thou shalt thereby reap is such a name Whose repetition will be dogged with curses, Whose chronicle thus writ: 'The man was noble, But with his last attempt he wiped it out, Destroyed his country; and his name remains To th' ensuing age abhorred,' Speak to me son. Thou hast affected the fine strains of honor, To imitate the graces of the gods; To tear with thunder the wide cheeks o' th' air, And yet to change thy sulphur with a bolt That should rive an oak.
Treason and murder ever kept together, As two yoke-devils sworn to either's purpose, Working so grossly in a natural cause That admiration did not whoop at them; But thou, 'gainst all proportion, didst bring in Wonder to wait on treason and on murder; And whatsoever cunning fiend it was That wrought upon thee so preposterously Hath got the voice in hell for excellence.
As by the way of innuendo Lucus is made a non lucendo.
He who tenders doubtful safety to those in trouble refuses it. [Lat., Dubiam salutem qui dat adflictis negat.]
To be, or not to be--that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune Or to take arms against a sea of troubles And by opposing end them. To die, to sleep-- No more--and by a sleep to say we end The heartache, and the thousand natural shocks That flesh is heir to.
Trouble is here. It is for a purpose. Use it for the purpose for which it was intended - to help you grow. Thank God for your troubles.
