As if you could kill time without injuring eternity.
~ Henry David Thoreau For Americans war is almost all of the time a nuisance, and military skill is a luxury like Mah-Jongg. But when the issue is brought home to them, war becomes as important, for the necessary period, as business or sport. And it is hard to decide which is likely to be the more ominous for the Axis -- an American decision that this is sport, or that it is business.
~ D. W. Brogan When my country, into which I had just set my foot, was set on fire about my ears, it was time to stir. It was time for every man to stir.
~ Thomas Paine, Common Sense People spend too much time finding other people to blame, too much energy finding excuses for not being what they are capable of being, and not enough energy putting themselves on the line, growing out of the past, and getting on with their lives.
~ J. Michael Straczynski There is a time for many words, and there is also a time for sleep.
~ Homer, The Odyssey Now is the time for all good men to come to.
~ Walt Kelly History is a cyclic poem written by Time upon the memories of man.
~ Percy Bysshe Shelley Take death for example. A great deal of our effort goes into avoiding it. We make extraordinary efforts to delay it, and often consider its intrusion a tragic event. Yet we?d find it hard to live without it. Death gives meaning to our lives. It gives importance and value to time. Time would become meaningless if there were too much of it.
~ Ray Kurzweil, The Age of Spiritual Machines: When Computers Exceed Human Intelligence There comes a time when the mind takes a higher plane of knowledge but can never prove how it got there.
~ Albert Einstein When you live in Texas, every single time you see snow its magical.
~ Pamela Ribon If I had the time to sit down and write a thank-you note to everyone who sent me a nice, expensive present, what a wonderful world that would be
~ Jack Handey Deep Thoughts Humor is, I think, the subtlest and chanciest of literary forms. It is surely not accidental that there are a thousand novelists, essayists, poets or journalists for each humorist. It is a long, long time between James Thurbers.
~ Leo C. Rosten
