| Day,A period of twenty-four hours, mostly misspent. |
| Time is an old firmly rooted tree; we are the breeze rustling its leaves. |
| Much may be done in those little shreds and patches of time which every day produces, and which most men throw away. |
| Methinks I see the wanton hours flee,And as they pass, turn back and laugh at me. |
| The Present is a Point just passed. |
| Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in. |
| For centuries, man believed that the sun revolves around the earth. Centuries later, he still thinks that time moves clockwise. |
| Man goes nowhere. Everything comes to man, like tomorrow. |
| Among life's regrets is all the time wasted being early for everything. |
| Time is the longest distance between two places. |
