The past is always tense and the future, perfect.

Our allotted time is the passing of a shadow.

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

Time’s ruins build eternity’s mansions.

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.
