I have a little bit of that gamer spirit in me. I just don’t have the time to be a gamer. But in another life, I would be one.

If you calculate 15 minutes a day to shave, that is 5,000 minutes a year spent shaving.

A man will fight harder for his interests than for his rights.

Anticipate the difficult by managing the easy.

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

One of the best mental disciplines for people to implement is simply putting together a schedule or a task list and actually executing it. Write the list or the schedule the night before, and then do what you said you would do. Life becomes much better when you do that.

If you are working 50 hours a week in a factory, you don’t have time to read 10 newspapers a day and go back to declassified government archives. But such people may have far-reaching insights into the way the world works.

Most people spend more time and energy going around problems than in trying to solve them.

Most of the time, songs that I write end up being finished in 30 minutes or less.

About the time we can make the ends meet, somebody moves the ends.

It needs time. Nobody wants to hear it, but that’s the truth: if you want to have success in the future, you have to be ready to work now.

Let all your things have their places; let each part of your business have its time.

As a country, we can’t teach kids how to read and write when we got 18 years to do it. And that’s – that’s a disgrace.

People who have time on their hands will inevitably waste the time of people who have work to do.

Time is kind of an amazing thing because you can do so much with it. I think people underestimate time… I don’t want to just sit on my phone for hours.

I believe every human has a finite number of heartbeats. I don’t intend to waste any of mine.

The best preparation for good work tomorrow is to do good work today.

My problem was my inability to spend much time at home. I thought my family was secure, so I went running around everyplace else. I guess I had more of an effect on other people’s kids than I did my own.

The present letter is a very long one, simply because I had no leisure to make it shorter.

About half my time is spent on business operation type stuff.

I don’t go to bed at 1 A.M. and wake up at 5 A.M. and say, ‚Let’s see if I can get this done today.‘

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

I never wanted to be a scientist per se. I wanted to be a naturalist.

By the time you get dressed, drive out there, play 18 holes and come home, you’ve blown seven hours. There are better things you can do with your time.

It is even better to act quickly and err than to hesitate until the time of action is past.

I have hobbies. I like being active. I like to surf a lot, play a little bit of golf.

Before I went to jail, I was active in politics as a member of South Africa’s leading organization – and I was generally busy from 7 A.M. until midnight. I never had time to sit and think.

I like to read books. I like to listen to music.

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.

I realized why directors are such horrible people – in a way – because you want things to be right, and people will just not listen to you, and there is no time to be nice to people, no time to be delicate.

It is not enough to be busy. So are the ants. The question is: What are we busy about?

Just on a practical side, if you wake up early in the morning – like at 4:30 in the morning – you’re going to have some free time to yourself to make things happen, to take care of things that are important to you.

Actually, I hear a lot of rock music. My husband is a big rock fan.

My theory is 98 percent of all human endeavor is killing time.

Better three hours too soon than a minute too late.

I must govern the clock, not be governed by it.

I started off with sim driving, playing ‚Gran Turismo,‘ and my Dad had some sort of Logitech steering wheel with pedals for the PlayStation 2.

Have fun in your command. Don’t always run at a breakneck pace. Take leave when you’ve earned it, spend time with your families.

Time is more value than money. You can get more money, but you cannot get more time.

We record when I have a hole in the schedule. Sometimes night, sometimes afternoon, sometimes morning – we fit it in when we can. I prep for episodes all the time.

Lost time is never found again.

I’m a lad of the ’60s. I started a magazine to try and end the Vietnam war, but it was a number of years before I had the profile, the financial resources and the time to do more.

I’m not a nerd, don’t plan to be a nerd and read books – which I can’t do at all.

As if you could kill time without injuring eternity.

If you try and work out at 4:30 in the afternoon, how many people are going to chip away at that time? Your boss, your job, your work, your family, your other obligations that you might have. At 4:30 in the morning, all those people are asleep, so you can do whatever you want.

Friends are thieves of time.

If it’s your job to eat a frog, it’s best to do it first thing in the morning. And If it’s your job to eat two frogs, it’s best to eat the biggest one first.

While we are postponing, life speeds by.

I like policy – call me a nerd.

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

If you’re living in your time, you cannot help but to write about the things that are important.

No man goes before his time – unless the boss leaves early.

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

I’m a day-to-day-type person.

A minute of thought is greater than an hour of talk.

I don’t do meetings.

I was not a good student. I did not spend much time at college; I was too busy enjoying myself.

My theory on housework is, if the item doesn’t multiply, smell, catch fire, or block the refrigerator door, let it be. No one else cares. Why should you?

There is no more fatal blunderer than he who consumes the greater part of his life getting his living.

Getting organized in the normal routines of life and finishing little projects you’ve started is an important first step toward realizing larger goals. If you can’t get a handle on the small things, how will you ever get it together to focus on the big things?

The training of children is a profession, where we must know how to waste time in order to save it.
