Best Quotes about Time

Nothing is to come, and nothing past: But an eternal now, does always last.

Cowley, Abraham

One cannot buy, rent or hire more time. The supply of time is totally inelastic. No matter how high the demand, the supply will not go up. There is no price for it. Time is totally perishable and cannot be stored. Yesterday's time is gone forever, and will never come back. Time is always in short supply. There is no substitute for time. Everything requires time. All work takes place in, and uses up time. Yet most people take for granted this unique, irreplaceable and necessary resource.

Don't worry if you don't complete everything on the schedule. At least you will have completed the most important projects before getting to the less important ones.
