The one thing I regret was that my work required an enormous amount of my time, and a lot of travel.

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

As you get older, the questions come down to about two or three. How long? And what do I do with the time I’ve got left?

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

Acting is just a way of making a living, the family is life.

The end of labor is to gain leisure.

I always had a sense of discipline in me. However, there was a time when I couldn’t divide my time properly between off-field things and on-field assignments. The focus would be missing at times, and that would affect my preparation for matches. I managed to change that.

For what Harley Street specialist has time to understand the body, let alone the mind or both in combination, when he is a slave to thirteen thousand a year?

Short cuts make long delays.

I think a simple rule of business is, if you do the things that are easier first, then you can actually make a lot of progress.

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

I take my kids to school. And if I go to work, I go to work, and they visit me on set. I come home. I have dinner with my family. I have breakfast with my family. I have a very solid, very warm home.

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.

I’m bloody awful at multi-tasking.

My work and my family are very important to me.

I wasted time, and now doth time waste me.

I think a certain amount of stress in life is good. The stress of just working, which takes effort – I think it keeps you going.

Determine never to be idle. No person will have occasion to complain of the want of time who never loses any. It is wonderful how much may be done if we are always doing.

A lot of times, people have something that they’re afraid of. They’ve got a client that’s mad at them. They’ve got a project that’s due. And they let that stress hang over their head. I don’t let that happen.

When a father puts in long hours at work, he’s praised for being dedicated and ambitious. But when a mother stays late at the office, she’s sometimes accused of being selfish, neglecting her kids.

Youth is a blunder; Manhood a struggle, Old Age a regret.

It’s a small percentage of people who do the 80-hour-a-week high-powered career thing, and they’re almost all men. Why? Well, men are driven by socio-economic status more than women.

A mother deserves a day off to care for a sick child or sick parent without running into hardship – and you know what, a father does, too. It’s time to do away with workplace policies that belong in a ‚Mad Men‘ episode.

It takes time to persuade men to do even what is for their own good.

It’s tough to go to sleep at night, and I wake up after five hours because I feel like I’m wasting time. I just sit up at night and think about what I can do next.

The challenge of work-life balance is without question one of the most significant struggles faced by modern man.

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

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

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

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

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

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

One today is worth two tomorrows.

I’ve always regretted that I never was able to talk openly with my parents, especially with my father. I’ve heard and read so many things about my family that I can no longer believe anything; every relative I question has a completely different story from the last.

Shall I, that have destroyed my Preservers, return home?

Times and conditions change so rapidly that we must keep our aim constantly focused on the future.

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

I like to have fun all the time, even if I’m working.

Never leave that till tomorrow which you can do today.

In one way, I suppose, I have been ‚in denial‘ for some time, knowingly burning the candle at both ends and finding that it often gives a lovely light.

Working with a lot of people at the same time is a task. I really like making stuff and getting stuff done. One of the things I really liked about Facebook was that I could always move so quickly. I wrote the original application in, like, nine days at the end of January.

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

Everywhere is within walking distance if you have the time.

Any man can call time out, but no man can say how long the time out will be.

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!

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.

Like every man of sense and good feeling, I abominate work.

When you’re so busy shooting 12 hours a day, you just eat what someone sticks in front of you.

If you spend your life competing with business men, what do you have? A bank account and ulcers!

Leisure is the time for doing something useful. This leisure the diligent person will obtain the lazy one never.

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

Some people see things that are and ask, Why? Some people dream of things that never were and ask, Why not? Some people have to go to work and don’t have time for all that.

It is extremely difficult to say how long the process actually took to finally achieve my fragrance, Boudoir, because there was a lot of time waiting around for other people.

I get up early in the morning, 4 o’clock, and I sit at my desk and what I do is just dream. After three or four hours, that’s enough. In the afternoon, I run.

I actually thought that it would be a little confusing during the same period of your life to be in one meeting when you’re trying to make money, and then go to another meeting where you’re giving it away. I mean is it gonna erode your ability, you know, to make money? Are you gonna somehow get confused about what you’re trying to do?

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

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

I deeply regret any harm, or any perceived harm, that I may have done to anyone by any behaviour of mine.

I’ve said this time and again: My greatest concern coming into the White House was making sure my girls came out whole and normal, and decent and kind, just like I would expect them to if we were living on the South Side of Chicago. And it takes work to keep White House life normal for the kids.

Lost time is never found again.

90 percent of my time is spent on 10 percent of the world.
