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.

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

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

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

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

Time’s violence rends the soul; by the rent eternity enters.

The past is always tense and the future, perfect.

In time history must become a fairy tale—it will become again what it was in the beginning.

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

There is no work of human hands which time does not wear away and reduce to dust.

The best way to fill time is to waste it.

Time is a veil interposed between God and ourselves, as our eyelid is between our eye and the light.

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