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

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

Nothing puzzles me more than time and space, and yet nothing puzzles me less, for I never think about them.

The past grows gradually around one, like a placenta for dying.

Scars have the strange power to remind us that our past is real.

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

Years are nothing to me—they should be nothing to you. Who asked you to count them or to consider them? In the world of wild nature, time is measured by seasons only—the bird does not know how old it is—the rose tree does not count its birthdays!

Without music to decorate it, time is just a bunch of boring production deadlines or dates by which bills must be paid.

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

Our allotted time is the passing of a shadow.

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

The past is always tense and the future, perfect.

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.
