Time

Time destroys the speculation of men, but it confirms nature.

The darkest places in hell are reserved for those who maintain their neutrality in times of moral crisis.

Time spent with cats is never wasted

A man who dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life

Every man regards his own life as the New Year's Eve of time.

It is not length of life, but depth of life.

Life is half spent before we know what it is

Life well spent is long.

It takes an endless amount of history to make even a little tradition.

Libraries are not made, they grow

Lawyers spend a great deal of their time shoveling smoke.

No man, however strong, can serve ten years as schoolmaster, priest, or senator, and remain fit for anything else

I consider time as an in immense ocean, in which many noble authors are entirely swallowed up

We travel through time as through a country filled with many wild and empty wastes, which we would fain hurry over, that we may arrive at those several little settlements or imaginary points of rest which are dispersed up and down in it

For death is no more than a turning of us over from time to eternity

From happiness to suffering is a step; from suffering to happiness is an eternity.

You never realize how short a month is until you pay alimony

Why is there so much month left at the end of the money?

Love is the delightful interval between meeting a beautiful girl and discovering that she looks like a haddock

To see a world in a grain of sand and heaven in a wild flower hold infinity in the palms of your hand and eternity in an hour
