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.

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

Our allotted time is the passing of a shadow.

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

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