To do two things at once is to do neither.

Publius Syrus


There is never enough time to do everything, but there is always enough time to do the most important thing.

Brian Tracy


It's how we spend our time here and now, that really matters. If you are fed up with the way you have come to interact with time, change it.

Marcia Wieder


The time you think you're missing, misses you too.

Ymber Delecto


Calendars are for careful people, not passionate ones.

Chuck Sigars

Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.

Douglas Adams


Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

Steve Jobs

It's a strange thing, but when you are dreading something, and would give anything to slow down time, it has a disobliging habit of speeding up.

J.K. Rowling


They say that time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.

Andy Warhol


How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives.

Annie Dillard


Clocks slay time . . . time is dead as long as it is being clicked off by little wheels; only when the clock stops does time come to life.

William Faulkner


Time is a dressmaker specializing in alterations.

Faith Baldwin


You're writing the story of your life one moment at a time.

Howard Martin


Time is the longest distance between two places.

Tennessee Williams


If you want work done well, select a busy person - the other kind has no time.

Elbert Hubbard



To live is so startling it leaves little time for anything else.

Emily Dickinson


But what minutes! Count them by sensation, and not by calendars, and each moment is a day.

Benjamin Disraeli


The time for action is now. It's never too late to do something.

Carl Sandburg


Events in our lives happen in a sequence in time, but in their significance to ourselves they find their own order the continuous thread of revelation.

Eudora Welty


We get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. Yet everything happens only a certain number of times, and a very small number, really. How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, some afternoon that's so deeply a part of your being that you can't even conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four or five times more. Perhaps not even that. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty. And yet it all seems limitless.

Paul Bowles


One cannot manage too many affairs: like pumpkins in the water, one pops up while you try to hold down the other.

Chinese Proverb


Half our life is spent trying to find something to do with the time we have rushed through life trying to save.

Will Rogers


We say we waste time, but that is impossible. We waste ourselves.

Alice Bloch


You must have been warned against letting the golden hours slip by; but some of them are golden only because we let them slip by.

James Matthew Barrie


We all have our time machines. Some take us back, they're called memories. Some take us forward, they're called dreams.

Jeremy Irons


What may be done at any time will be done at no time.

Scottish Proverb


Better three hours too soon, than one minute too late.

William Shakespeare
