Quotes about

time

"Life is long if you know how to use it."

"Remember how long thou hast already put off these things, and how often a certain day and hour as it were, having been set unto thee by the gods, thou hast neglected it."

"Hold every moment sacred. Give each the weight of a lifetime, and keep it as your own."

"How much time he gains who does not look to see what his neighbor says or does, but only to what he does himself."

"Begin at once to live, and count each separate day as a separate life."
