A long trip starts with the first step.

Time: adorner of the ruin, comforter and the only healer when the heart hath bled.

Time exists because there is activity... Time is the product of changing realities, beings, existences.

What then is time? If no one asks me, I know what it is. If I wish to explain it to him who asks, I do not know.

Time: nothing else than protraction, but of what I know not; and I marvel, if it be not of the mind itself.

It hardly matters if time is real; at the very least we talk as if it is.

Time is of your own making; its clock ticks in your head.
The moment you stop thought, time too stops dead.

Wasting time is an important part of life.

He asked me if I knew what time it was. I said, Yes, but not right now.

Time's glory is to calm contending kings,
To unmask falsehood and bring truth to light.

Come what come may, Time and the hour runs through the roughest day.

Man fears Time, yet Time fears the Pyramids.

No man is rich enough to buy back his past.

People often find it easier to be a result of the past than a cause of the future.

I like the dreams of the future better than the history of the past.

It is difficult to say what is impossible, for the dream of yesterday is the hope of today and the reality of tomorrow.

The past is history, the future is a mystery,
now is a gift – that's why it's called the present.

Life is a journey, not a destination.
Happiness is not "there" but here, not "tomorrow" but today.

The future influences the present just as much as the past.

Look to the past to inform the future.

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.

Change is the process by which the future invades our lives.

The present contains nothing more than the past,
and what is found in the effect is already in the cause.

The past is the present, isn't it? It's the future too.

The biggest difference between time and space is that you can't reuse time.

Venerable old age is not that of long time, nor counted by the number of years: but the understanding of a man is grey hairs.

You can't do anything about the past; you can only do something about the future. You would be a bitter and twisted old man at the age of 40 if you always looked back.

No matter how long you live, die young.

Whether time is long or short, and whether space is broad or narrow, depend upon the mind. Those whose minds are at leisure can feel one day as a millennium, and those whose thoughts are expansive can perceive a small house to be as spacious as the universe.

Eternity is in love with the productions of time.

To see a world in a grain of sand,
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
and eternity in an hour.

The present is only a mathematical line which divides
that part of eternal duration which we call the future,
from that which we call the past.

Our time is as the passing of a shadow, and there is no going back of our end: for it is fast sealed, and no man returneth.

Yesterday is not ours to recover,
but tomorrow is ours to win or to lose.

The other day I put instant coffee in my microwave oven ... I almost went back in time.

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

It is not the hours you put in your work that counts, it is the work you put in the hours.

The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough.

Love the moment, and the energy of that moment will spread beyond all boundaries.

The future comes one day at a time.

When it is wrong today, we call them crazy; when it is right tomorrow, we call them a genius.

He that will not apply new remedies must expect new evils; for time is the greatest innovator.

The farther backward you can look,
the farther forward you are likely to see.

If you want the present to be different from the past,
study the past.

Life must be lived forwards,
but it can only be understood backwards.

Men talk of killing time, while time quietly kills them.

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

Time is the substance from which I am made. Time is a river which carries me along, but I am the river; it is a tiger that devours me, but I am the tiger; it is a fire that consumes me, but I am the fire.

There are, assuredly, two forms of The Eternal:
the formed and the formless, the mortal and the immortal.
the stationary and the moving, the actual and the yon.

To be aged, but not old.

The quality of your life is in direct proportion with the amount of uncertainty that you can live with.

Boast not of tomorrow, for you know not what any day may bring forth.

Destiny
is not a matter of chance,
it is a matter of choice.
It is not something to be waited for,
it is something to be pursued.

Love is space and time made directly perceptible to the heart.

We feel as if time runs in a past-to-future direction, when we are actively involved in the doing, busy with getting ahead with our projects.
Conversely, we feel as if time runs in a future-to-past direction when, in contrast, we hold a rather passive attitude, in which case "life happens" to us, instead.
