Time

In theory one is aware that the earth revolves, but in practice one does not perceive it, the ground upon which one treads seems not to move, and one can live undisturbed. So it is with Time in one's life.

(Marcel Proust)

The maintainers of this site claim that it's impossible to have a conversation if there is no way of knowing when a given entry was posted. Is that true? Is it necessary to arrange the various parts of a potential conversation in sequential order for a conversation to exist?

I do not have enough time left in my life to spend it
with training for the world record in marathon running.


(hi, old pirate)

Time itself seemed to have grown dull and old, as if no day were ever to displace the melancholy night.

Do not squander time for that is the stuff life is made of.

(Benjamin Franklin)

Shakespeare Sonnet-a-Day



XIX.

Devouring Time, blunt thou the lion's paws,
And make the earth devour her own sweet brood;
Pluck the keen teeth from the fierce tiger's jaws,
And burn the long-lived phoenix in her blood;
Make glad and sorry seasons as thou fleets,
And do whate'er thou wilt, swift-footed Time,
To the wide world and all her fading sweets;
But I forbid thee one most heinous crime:
O, carve not with thy hours my love's fair brow,
Nor draw no lines there with thine antique pen;
Him in thy course untainted do allow
For beauty's pattern to succeeding men.
Yet, do thy worst, old Time: despite thy wrong,
My love shall in my verse ever live young.

Time cancels young pain.

(Euripides)

An inch of time cannot be bought with an inch of gold.

(Chinese Proverb)

The time here is just past eight o'clock.

Time is the most valuable thing a man can spend.

(Theophrastus)

There was ample time to note these particulars, for besides that they were sufficiently obvious without very close observation, some moments elapsed before any one broke silence

time was when the water was blue and the grass was green. birds sang and fish didn't fly. now you just never know what lurks behind that shrub. if diversity wasn't so common, it would be disconcerting.

It will take a long time for the countries hit by the tsunami to recover. Today's relief efforts are just a beginning.

The dark-haired stranger knew how to bide his time.
