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

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

Time’s ruins build eternity’s mansions.

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.

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

This is Year Zero.

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.

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

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

Time, when it is left to itself and no definite demands are made on it, cannot be trusted to move at any recognized pace. Usually it loiters, but just when one has come to count upon its slowness, it may suddenly break into a wild irrational gallop.

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