Best Quotes about Time

We must use time creatively -- and forever realize that the time is always hope to do great things.

King Jr. Martin Luther

Time is the school in which we learn, time is the fire in which we burn.

Schwartz, Delmore

What comes first, the compass or the clock? Before one can truly manage time (the clock), it is important to know where you are going, what your priorities and goals are, in which direction you are headed (the compass). Where you are headed is more important than how fast you are going. Rather than always focusing on what's urgent, learn to focus on what is really important.

Mann, Horace

The other is the inside clock, where you are your own timekeeper and determine your own chronology, your own internal weather and your own rate of living. Sometimes the inner clock runs itself out long before the outer one, and you see a dead man going through the motions of living.
