Manners require time, and nothing is more vulgar than haste.
Ralph Waldo EmersonTo the extent I am known, I think I am known as a person who expresses his opinion freely about things – and I was sensitive to the possibility that if I was seen taking money for saying nice things about a product, my comments and choices and opinions would become, understandably, suspect.
Anthony BourdainThe squirrel that you kill in jest, dies in earnest.
Henry David ThoreauThe philosophical question before us is, when we make an observation of our track in the past, does the result of our observation become real in the same sense that the final state would be defined if an outside observer were to make the observation?
Richard P. FeynmanForever is composed of nows.
Emily DickinsonWhatever must happen ultimately should happen immediately.
Henry KissingerIf a man or woman is born ten years sooner or later, their whole aspect and performance shall be different.
Johann Wolfgang von GoetheI have wondered about time all my life.
Stephen HawkingI believe time wounds all heels.
John LennonIf danger arises in the present moment, there may be an emotion. There may even be pain. But that’s a challenge, not a problem. For a problem to exist, you need time and repetitive mind activity.
Eckhart Tolle‚I wish life was not so short,‘ he thought. ‚Languages take such a time, and so do all the things one wants to know about.‘
J. R. R. TolkienBut if nothing but soul, or in soul mind, is qualified to count, it is impossible for there to be time unless there is soul, but only that of which time is an attribute, i.e. if change can exist without soul.
AristotleAntiquities are history defaced, or some remnants of history which have casually escaped the shipwreck of time.
Francis BaconThe slave is doomed to worship time and fate and death, because they are greater than anything he finds in himself, and because all his thoughts are of things which they devour.
Bertrand RussellNature gives to every time and season some beauties of its own; and from morning to night, as from the cradle to the grave, it is but a succession of changes so gentle and easy that we can scarcely mark their progress.
Charles DickensYesterday’s weirdness is tomorrow’s reason why.
Hunter S. ThompsonYesterday’s just a memory, tomorrow is never what it’s supposed to be.
Bob DylanA lot of good love can happen in ten years.
Jim CarreyA truer image of the world, I think, is obtained by picturing things as entering into the stream of time from an eternal world outside, than from a view which regards time as the devouring tyrant of all that is.
Bertrand RussellThere are many events in the womb of time, which will be delivered.
William ShakespeareBefore 1915, space and time were thought of as a fixed arena in which events took place, but which was not affected by what happened in it. Space and time are now dynamic quantities… space and time not only affect but are also affected by everything that happens in the universe.
Stephen HawkingI work all day, do research, sketch my ideas, prepare for performances.
Lady GagaI don’t think that the total creation took place in six days as we now measure time. If we can confirm, say, the Big Bang theory, that doesn’t at all cause me to question my faith that God created the Big Bang.
Jimmy CarterI don’t know how much longer I’ll be around. I’ll probably be writing when the Lord says, ‚Maya, Maya Angelou, it’s time.‘
Maya AngelouThere is never time in the future in which we will work out our salvation. The challenge is in the moment; the time is always now.
James BaldwinThere is another old poet whose name I do not now remember who said, ‚Truth is the daughter of Time.‘
Abraham LincolnBeauty is unbearable, drives us to despair, offering us for a minute the glimpse of an eternity that we should like to stretch out over the whole of time.
Albert CamusIf anything, I get most upset because I wanna read a good paper first thing in the morning. And if I see a lie about myself flash across the front of the cover, I don’t think much of the rest of the newspaper.
Angelina JolieLife being very short, and the quiet hours of it few, we ought to waste none of them in reading valueless books.
John RuskinA lack of realism in the vision today costs credibility tomorrow.
John C. MaxwellPeople of Berlin – people of the world – this is our moment. This is our time.
Barack ObamaOur minds work in real time, which begins at the Big Bang and will end, if there is a Big Crunch – which seems unlikely, now, from the latest data showing accelerating expansion. Consciousness would come to an end at a singularity.
Stephen HawkingThere’s no present. There’s only the immediate future and the recent past.
George CarlinSilence is as deep as eternity, speech a shallow as time.
Thomas CarlyleIf patience is worth anything, it must endure to the end of time. And a living faith will last in the midst of the blackest storm.
Mahatma GandhiLife is so, so short. Bible says it’s like a vapor.
Muhammad AliTime is a sort of river of passing events, and strong is its current; no sooner is a thing brought to sight than it is swept by and another takes its place, and this too will be swept away.
Marcus AureliusThe magical, supernatural force that is with us every second is time. We can’t even comprehend it. It’s such an illusion, it’s such a strange thing.
Anthony HopkinsThe future is something which everyone reaches at the rate of 60 minutes an hour, whatever he does, whoever he is.
C. S. LewisReputation is the cornerstone of power. Through reputation alone you can intimidate and win; once it slips, however, you are vulnerable, and will be attacked on all sides. Make your reputation unassailable.
Robert GreeneFor time and the world do not stand still. Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or the present are certain to miss the future.
John F. KennedyEvery possession and every happiness is but lent by chance for an uncertain time, and may therefore be demanded back the next hour.
Arthur SchopenhauerTime is but the stream I go a-fishing in.
Henry David ThoreauBeauty is all very well at first sight; but who ever looks at it when it has been in the house three days?
George Bernard ShawI left the woods for as good a reason as I went there. Perhaps it seemed to me that I had several more lives to live and could not spare any more time for that one.
Henry David ThoreauOnce music ceases to be ephemeral – always disappearing – and becomes instead material… it leaves the condition of traditional music and enters the condition of painting. It becomes a painting, existing as material in space, not immaterial in time.
Brian EnoWe are at the very beginning of time for the human race. It is not unreasonable that we grapple with problems. But there are tens of thousands of years in the future. Our responsibility is to do what we can, learn what we can, improve the solutions, and pass them on.
Richard P. FeynmanEither he’s dead or my watch has stopped.
Groucho MarxHappy is he who still loves something he loved in the nursery: He has not been broken in two by time; he is not two men, but one, and he has saved not only his soul but his life.
Gilbert K. ChestertonLife would be infinitely happier if we could only be born at the age of eighty and gradually approach eighteen.
Mark TwainTime destroys the speculation of men, but it confirms nature.
Marcus Tullius CiceroTruth is the daughter of time, not of authority.
Francis BaconFor diplomacy to be effective, words must be credible – and no one can now doubt the word of America.
George W. BushYou cannot do a kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late.
Ralph Waldo EmersonDeeply earnest and thoughtful people stand on shaky footing with the public.
Johann Wolfgang von GoetheTime and the hour run through the roughest day.
William ShakespeareWe would like a stable policy framework, and whatever incentives and tax structures are there should be made known to investors upfront. There should be credibility, clarity and continuity in both policy formulation and its implementation.
Narendra ModiFor most of us, wisdom is acquired in the thicket of experience and usually meets us somewhere along the way if we live long enough. But sooner is better than later.
H. Jackson Brown, Jr.Speeches that are measured by the hour will die with the hour.
Thomas JeffersonIn Hollywood, a lot of times when something is in development, it just takes a lot of time.
Dwayne Johnson
