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

Time’s ruins build eternity’s mansions.

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.

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.

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

The past is always tense and the future, perfect.

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

I look for the end of the future, but it never ceases to arrive. 

For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.

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

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

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