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

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

I have so much that I want to do. I hate wasting time.

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

The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing.

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.

A broad margin of leisure is as beautiful in a man’s life as in a book. Haste makes waste, no less in life than in housekeeping. Keep the time, observe the hours of the universe, not of the cars.

You can write a short story in two hours. Two hours a day, you have a novel in a year.

If time be of all things the most precious, wasting time must be the greatest prodigality.

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

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

Make measurable progress in reasonable time.

I often work by avoidance.

Please don’t ask me to do that which I’ve just said I’m not going to do, because you’re burning up time. The meter is running through the sand on you, and I am now filibustering.

We must use time creatively.

To a man of pleasure every moment appears to be lost, which partakes not of the vivacity of amusement.

Plan your work for today and every day, then work your plan.

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 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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

Anticipate the difficult by managing the easy.

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.

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.

The wise man should restrain his senses like the crane and accomplish his purpose with due knowledge of his place, time and ability.

It is no good getting furious if you get stuck. What I do is keep thinking about the problem but work on something else. Sometimes it is years before I see the way forward. In the case of information loss and black holes, it was 29 years.

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

With audacity one can undertake anything, but not do everything.

Without music to decorate it, time is just a bunch of boring production deadlines or dates by which bills must be paid.

At 17, I went to Stanford University to study engineering. My time was occupied with the required reading and the extracurricular duties of managing the baseball and football teams and earning my way.

I have made this letter longer than usual, only because I have not had the time to make it shorter.

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.

Why do people sit up so late, or, more rarely, get up so early? Not because the day is not long enough, but because they have no time in the day to themselves.

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

I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.

Too many people treat parenting like it’s the 20th item on their to-do list.

Do the hard jobs first. The easy jobs will take care of themselves.

Life well spent is long.

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.

Hobbies are apt to run away with us, you know; it doesn’t do to be run away with. We must keep the reins.

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

I tweet in the morning and the evening. To write 12 hours a day, there is a moment when you’re really tired. It’s my relaxing time.

I don’t have time to be lonely. And I get fearful of relationships because I feel guilty about wanting someone to be completely faithful and loyal, when I can’t even give them 10 percent of the attention that they need. It’s just the reality of my time, my life, my schedule.

Time is the least thing we have of.

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.

People with clear, written goals, accomplish far more in a shorter period of time than people without them could ever imagine.

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.

Tomorrow is nothing, today is too late; the good lived yesterday.

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

Time is more valuable than money, because time is irreplaceable.

I love being busy.

Never put off till tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow.

I do not love to be printed on every occasion, much less to be dunned and teased by foreigners about mathematical things or to be thought by our own people to be trifling away my time about them when I should be about the king’s business.

Nothing great is created suddenly, any more than a bunch of grapes or a fig. If you tell me that you desire a fig. I answer you that there must be time. Let it first blossom, then bear fruit, then ripen.

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.
