Most people don’t have time to master the very mathematical details of theoretical physics.

One of the things I realized is that if you do not take control over your time and your life, other people will gobble it up. If you don’t prioritize yourself, you constantly start falling lower and lower on your list, your kids fall lower and lower on your list.

Did you know there’s a difference between being busy and being fruitful? Did you ever stop to think that just being busy – running around in circles all day but not accomplishing anything – is the same as wasting your time? It’s frustrating to expend so much energy and time and not have any fruit from your effort!

Spend more time in study and prayer. That’s the secret of successful evangelism.

If the rate of expansion one second after the Big Bang had been smaller by even one part in a hundred thousand million million, it would have recollapsed before it reached its present size. On the other hand, if it had been greater by a part in a million, the universe would have expanded too rapidly for stars and planets to form.

I’ve spent too much time giving speeches, traveling the world.

I’ve actually not read any books on time management.

A veteran journalist has never had time to think twice before he writes.

If a projectile were deprived of the force of gravity, it would not be deflected toward the earth but would go off in a straight line into the heavens and do so with uniform motion, provided that the resistance of the air were removed.

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.

I was dyslexic, I had no understanding of schoolwork whatsoever. I certainly would have failed IQ tests. And it was one of the reasons I left school when I was 15 years old. And if I – if I’m not interested in something, I don’t grasp it.

The one who adapts his policy to the times prospers, and likewise that the one whose policy clashes with the demands of the times does not.

Your greatest asset is your earning ability. Your greatest resource is your time.

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.

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

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

Thanksgiving dinners take eighteen hours to prepare. They are consumed in twelve minutes. Half-times take twelve minutes. This is not coincidence.

Don’t think in the morning. That’s a big mistake that people make. They wake up in the morning and they start thinking. Don’t think. Just execute the plan. The plan is the alarm clock goes off, you get up, you go work out. Get some.

I’ve been on a calendar, but I’ve never been on time.

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

Tell me I have to be somewhere, and I’ll be there 20 minutes early and stay there longer than anybody else. You hold up a lot of people if you’re not on time.

Do not waste your time on Social Questions. What is the matter with the poor is Poverty; what is the matter with the rich is Uselessness.

If you love life, don’t waste time, for time is what life is made up of.

It is very difficult to get people to focus on the most important things when you’re in boom times.

It has been my observation that most people get ahead during the time that others waste.

Although almost every theoretical physicist agrees with my prediction that a black hole should glow like a hot body, it would be very difficult to verify experimentally because the temperature of a macroscopic black hole is so low.

There is nothing more requisite in business than despatch.

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

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.

And it comes from saying no to 1,000 things to make sure we don’t get on the wrong track or try to do too much. We’re always thinking about new markets we could enter, but it’s only by saying no that you can concentrate on the things that are really important.

Yes, sir, no, sir, clock in, clock out. Why were you late? Why are you not in today? That’s not how humans are supposed to live.

Work as if you were to live a hundred years. Pray as if you were to die tomorrow.

If my doctor told me I had only six minutes to live, I wouldn’t brood. I’d type a little faster.

Take time for all things: great haste makes great waste.

My justification is that most people my age spend a lot of time thinking about what they’re going to do for the next five or ten years. The time they spend thinking about their life, I just spend drinking.

How much time he saves who does not look to see what his neighbor says or does or thinks.

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

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.

The older I get the more wisdom I find in the ancient rule of taking first things first. A process which often reduces the most complex human problem to a manageable proportion.

Moderation is the key so I work certain amount of time and then I take a certain amount of time off.

Friends are thieves of time.

Devote each day to the object then in time and every evening will find something done.

However great may be the work for which we are responsible, we will always do well if we pause to spend time in sacred praise.

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

Sometimes if you got a problem deep rooted in your life, it takes a little bit of time to overcome it in that area.

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

Character is the result of two things: mental attitude and the way we spend our time.

The end of labor is to gain leisure.

All the evidence, experimental and even a little theoretical, seems to indicate that it is the energy content which is involved in gravitation, and therefore, since matter and antimatter both represent positive energies, gravitation makes no distinction.

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

I realize I don’t do a very good job in keeping up to date, but I try to.

That’s one of the biggest things. Never being home, always traveling, having different interests and focusing on different things, just the time aspect of going back home and seeing them, you don’t have that at all. It was a big sacrifice but, at the end of the day, it was worth it.

I’m not an employee who goes to the office every morning at the same time. Then, vacations are needed.

We are the product of quantum fluctuations in the very early universe.

Writing is fun – at least mostly. I write for four hours every day. After that I go running. As a rule, 10 kilometers (6.2 miles). That’s easy to manage.

I have wasted my hours.

Just in terms of allocation of time resources, religion is not very efficient. There’s a lot more I could be doing on a Sunday morning.

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.

Pleasure and action make the hours seem short.

Well, I’m working all the time to stay out of trouble!

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