Time: That which man is always trying to kill, but which ends in killing him.

Time is a sort of river of passing events, and strong is its current; no sooner is a thing brought to sight than it is swept by and another takes its place, and this too will be swept away.

Do not feel certain of anything.

I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find that you are not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.

Our life does not develop as a result of chance, but as a result of causes.

It’s no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then.

If I had to define life in a word, it would be: Life is creation.

You will find rest from vain fancies if you perform every act in life as though it were your last.

I am not a saint, unless you think of a saint as a sinner who keeps on trying.

Everything good is costly and the development of the personality is one of the most costly of all things. It will cost you your innocence, your illusions, your certainty.

Pain is certain, suffering is optional.

The longer I live, the more beautiful life becomes.

The greatest remedy for anger is delay.

Death, the only immortal who treats us all alike, whose pity and whose peace and whose refuge are for all—the soiled and the pure, the rich and the poor, the loved and the unloved.

View your life from your funeral: Looking back at your life experiences, what have you accomplished? What would you have wanted to accomplish but didn't? What were the happy moments? What were the sad? What would you do again, and what wouldn't you do?

No thing 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.

Time is the scarcest resource and unless it is managed nothing else can be managed.

The season of failure is the best time for sowing the seeds of success.

Now is the time to open the doors of opportunity to all of God’s children.

Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you.
