The moment someone asks you to do something you don’t have the time or inclination to do is fraught with vulnerability.

Anticipate the difficult by managing the easy.

Women in particular need to keep an eye on their physical and mental health, because if we’re scurrying to and from appointments and errands, we don’t have a lot of time to take care of ourselves. We need to do a better job of putting ourselves higher on our own ‚to do‘ list.

When you get into your car, shut the door and be there for just half a minute. Breathe, feel the energy inside your body, look around at the sky, the trees. The mind might tell you, ‚I don’t have time.‘ But that’s the mind talking to you. Even the busiest person has time for 30 seconds of space.

There is no waste of time in life like that of making explanations.

It’s life isn’t it? You plow ahead and make a hit. And you plow on and someone passes you. Then someone passes them. Time levels.

Tardiness often robs us opportunity, and the dispatch of our forces.

Time is precious, but truth is more precious than time.

A big man has no time really to do anything but just sit and be big.

The future is purchased by the present.

There cannot be a crisis next week. My schedule is already full.

That nice, soft pillow and the warm blanket, and it’s all comfortable, and no one wants to leave that comfort – but if you can wake up early in the morning, get a head start on everyone else that’s still sleeping, get productive time doing things that you need to do – that’s a huge piece to moving your life forward.

What’ll we do with ourselves this afternoon? And the day after that, and the next thirty years?

A child thinks 20 shillings and 20 years can scarce ever be spent.

If you want to be more productive, then start at the start: get there on time. Whether it is a meeting, a flight, an appointment or a date, it’s important to ensure you are there when you say you will be there. This may feel like an old-fashioned tip to give, but it has served me well for five decades in business.

I have no time to think about other writers. I am too busy with my own problems.

Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that is the stuff life is made of.

Time abides long enough for those who make use of it.

Make measurable progress in reasonable time.

I don’t care how busy I am – I will always make time for what’s most important to me.

Never leave that till tomorrow which you can do today.

To build may have to be the slow and laborious task of years. To destroy can be the thoughtless act of a single day.

We must use time as a tool, not as a couch.

The more sand has escaped from the hourglass of our life, the clearer we should see through it.

The only reason for time is so that everything doesn’t happen at once.

I like to do things quickly because I’m easily bored.

What is not started today is never finished tomorrow.

To help a friend in need is easy, but to give him your time is not always opportune.

One cannot become a saint when one works sixteen hours a day.

I am so busy doing nothing… that the idea of doing anything – which as you know, always leads to something – cuts into the nothing and then forces me to have to drop everything.

I can have people around a lot more because I’m not always chasing them away so I can work on my novel. My non-novel, I mean.

I am like a man so busy in letting rooms in one end of his house, that he can’t stop to put out the fire that is burning the other.

One always has time enough, if one will apply it well.

Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.

I have to admit, I sometimes wonder how much more successful I would have been as a coach had it not been for my spending summers on the golf course. I could have watched more film, that’s for sure. One advantage Joe Paterno had over me was that he didn’t play golf.

All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.

As if you could kill time without injuring eternity.

When one has a great deal to put into it a day has a hundred pockets.

I often work by avoidance.

Better never than late.

First thing I do in the morning, after I have my breakfast and do my spiritual work, is put on my makeup and fix my hair, and I can do my makeup in 15 minutes.

I don’t have time to stand around and listen to an 11-minute song.

This time, like all times, is a very good one, if we but know what to do with it.

All things will be produced in superior quantity and quality, and with greater ease, when each man works at a single occupation, in accordance with his natural gifts, and at the right moment, without meddling with anything else.

Adjusting to the passage of time, I think, is a key to success and to life: just being able to roll with the punches.

Many people take no care of their money till they come nearly to the end of it, and others do just the same with their time.

To write it, it took three months; to conceive it three minutes; to collect the data in it all my life.

Time is the friend of the wonderful company, the enemy of the mediocre.
