It is nearly the end of August, nearly time for spring 2017, and – indeed – just more than four months before we shall celebrate a new year…
This time of year – filled with matric farewell functions, annual general meetings and awards ceremonies – reminds us how quickly time flies.
We thought it fitting to share a few quotes on time with readers this week:
• “I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo. “So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.” (JRR Tolkien)
• “Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin.” (Mother Teresa)
• “For what it’s worth: it’s never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the courage to start all over again.” (Eric Roth, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button Screenplay)
• “Don’t waste your time with explanations: people only hear what they want to hear.” (Paulo Coelho)
• “Don’t spend time beating on a wall, hoping to transform it into a door.” (Coco Chanel)
• “They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.” (Andy Warhol)
• “A man who dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life.” (Charles Darwin)
• “Time is an illusion.” (Albert Einstein)
• “Those who make the worst use of their time are the first to complain of its brevity.” (Jean de La Bruyère, Les Caractères)
• “Don’t waste your time in anger, regrets, worries, and grudges. Life is too short to be unhappy.” (Roy T Bennett)
