A man who dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life.
Time is what we want most, but what we use worst.
Lost time is never found again.
Whether it's the best of times or the worst of times, it's the only time we've got.
Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that is the stuff life is made of.
This time, like all times, is a very good one, if we but know what to do with it.
You will never 'find' time for anything. If you want time, you must make it.
Time is the most valuable thing a man can spend.
Time is the coin of life. Only you can determine how it will be spent.
Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you.
It is not enough to be busy. So are the ants. The question is: What are we busy about?
Never leave that till tomorrow which you can do today.
actions speak louder than words
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.
Time is free, but it's priceless. You can't own it, but you can use it. You can't keep it, but you can spend it. Once you've lost it you can never get it back.
Time and tide wait for no man.
Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
Determine never to be idle. No person will have occasion to complain of the want of time who never loses any. It is wonderful how much may be done if we are always doing.
Don't say you don't have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michaelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein.
Never put off till tomorrow what you can do day after tomorrow just as well.
