If both what is before and what is after are in this same “now,” things which happened ten thousand years ago would be simultaneous with what has happened today, and nothing would be before or after anything else.

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

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

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.

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

The best way to fill time is to waste it.

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

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 violence rends the soul; by the rent eternity enters.

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

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

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 past is always tense and the future, perfect.
