Those who make the worst use of their time are the first to complain of its brevity.

 Do not lessen the time of following desire, for the wasting of time is an abomination to the spirit.

The best way to fill time is to waste it.

The appointed thing comes at the appointed time in the appointed way.

I’ve been on a calendar, but never on time.

Thou art not to learn the humors and tricks of that old bald cheater, time.

No preacher is listened to but time, which gives us the same train and turn of thought that elder people have in vain tried to put into our heads before.

We wish away whole years, and travel through time as through a country filled with many wild and empty wastes, which we would fain hurry over, that we may arrive at those several little settlements or imaginary points of rest which are dispersed up and down in it.

We should not say that one man’s hour is worth another man’s hour, but rather that one man during an hour is worth just as much as another man during an hour. Time is everything, man is nothing; he is, at most, time’s carcass.

Time’s ruins build eternity’s mansions.

The celestial machine is to be likened not to a divine organism but rather to a clockwork.

The past is always tense and the future, perfect.

A watch is always too fast or too slow. I cannot be dictated to by a watch.
