Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time…

To see a world in a grain of sand
And Heaven in a Wild Flower;
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
and Eternity in an hour.

Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it.

Groucho Marx


Time, by moments, steals away,
First the hour, and then the day;
Small the daily loss appears,
Yet it soon amounts to years

First the hour and then the day.
Small the daily loss appears,
Till it soon amounts to years.

But today, well lived, makes yesterday a dream of happiness and every tomorrow a dream of hope.

The early bird may catch the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

How softly sinks his trembling sun
In human nature’s west!

Does killing time damage eternity?


But at my back I always hear
Time's winged chariot hurrying near
And yonder all before us lie
Deserts of vast eternity

Leo Buscaglia

Ecclesiastes


Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,
Old Time is still a flying;
And that same flower that blooms today,
Tomorrow shall be dying.

Fredrick O' R. Hayes


We live in deeds, not years; in thoughts, not figures on a dial. We should count time by heart throbs. He most lives who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best.

Aristotle


Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,
is our destined end or way;
But to act, that each to-morrow
Finds us further than to-day.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow


LIVE YOUR LIFE EACH DAY as you would climb a mountain. An occasional glance toward the summit keeps the goal in mind, but many beautiful scenes are to be observed from each new vantage point. Climb slowly, steadily, enjoying each passing moment; and the view from the summit will serve as a fitting climax for the journey.

HAROLD V. MELCHERT


One thing you can't recycle is wasted time.

Anon.


Fourth, eleventh, ninth, and sixth,
Thirty days to each affix;
Every other thirty-one
Except the second month alone.



Q: If you were stuck in a room with only a calendar, how would you survive?
A: Eat the dates and drink from the spring!

From my nine year old daughter, Dana


Monday's child is fair of face,
Tuesday's child is full of grace,
Wednesday's child is full of woe,
Thursday's child has far to go,
Friday's child is loving and giving,
Saturday's child works hard for a living,
But the child that is born on the Sabbath day
Is bonny and blithe, and good and gay.



Too Slow for those who Wait,
Too Swift for those who Fear,
Too Long for those who Grieve,
Too Short for those who Rejoice;
But for those who Love,
Time is Eternity

Henry Van Dyke


And you run and you run
To catch up with the sun
But it's sinking,
Racing around
To come up behind you again.

-- Pink Floyd


RIDDLE:
My uprights are midnights,
my levels God's law.
My corners dark moonlight,
my spaces fill all.

(a calendar) - Bob Richmond


Time flies like an arrow.
Fruit flies like a banana.


Tomorrow I will live, the fool does say; Today itself's too late; the wise lived yesterday.

Martial (c. 66 A.D.) Epigrams


Like as the waves make towards the pebbled shore,
So do our minutes hasten to their end;
Each changing place with that which goes before,
In sequent toil all forwards do contend.

Sonnet 60 -- Shakespeare


Alike for those who for TO-DAY prepare,
And those that after a TO-MORROW stare,
A Muezzin from the Tower of Darkness cries
"Fools! your Reward is neither Here nor There."

Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam


One cannot walk down an avenue, converse with a friend, enter a building, browse beneath the arches of an old arcade without meeting an instrument of time. Time is visible in all places. Clock towers, wristwatches, church bells divide years into months, months into days, days into hours, hours into seconds, each increment of time marching after the other in perfect succession. And beyond any particular clock, a vast scaffold of time, stretching across the universe, lays down the law of time equally for all. In this world, a second is a second. Time paces forward with exquisite regularity, at precisely the same velocity in every corner of space. Time is an infinite ruler. Time is absolute.

-- Einstein's Dreams


Dates in Calendar are Closer Than They Appear!


Time is what keeps everything from happening at once.


Keep a diary, and someday it'll keep you.

Mae West


Dogs, ye have had your day!

Alexander Pope


Years following years steal something every day;
At last they steal us from ourselves away.

Alexander Pope


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

Benjamin Franklin


Think'st thou existence doth depend on time?
It doth; but actions are our epochs.

Lord Byron


We must not allow the clock and the calendar to blind us to the fact that each moment of life is a miracle and mystery.

H. G. Wells


I've been on a calendar, but never on time.

Marilyn Monroe


More software projects have gone awry for lack of calendar time than for all other causes combined.

Fred Brooks, Jr
The Mythical Man Month



Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.

Douglas Adams


Most modern calendars mar the sweet simplicity of our lives by reminding us that each day that passes is the anniversary of some perfectly uninteresting event.

Oscar Wilde


Give space to time, and time will fill space.


One seventh of your life is spent on Monday.


Tomorrow, tomorrow
There's always tomorrow
It's only a day away.

From Annie


With a bit of a mind flip
You're into the time slip.
And nothing can ever be the same.
You're spaced out on sensation.
Like you're under sedation.
Let's do the time-warp again.

Rocky Horror Picture Show


I've been aware of the time passing by
They say in the end it's the wink of an eye
And when the morning light comes streaming in
You'll get up and do it again
Amen

Jackson Browne
