Time - there is nothing longer in the world, because it is a measure of eternity, and there is nothing shorter, because it is not enough to fulfill our desires; there is nothing slower for the one who waits, nothing faster for the one who enjoys; it reaches infinity in the great and infinitely divides in the small; people neglect it, and having lost it, they regret it; everything happens in time; it destroys the unworthy in the memory of posterity.

Each present has its own future, which illuminates it and which disappears with it, becoming past-future.
Sartre J.-P.
In order to live a good life, there is no need to know where you came from and what will happen in the next world. Think only about what your soul wants, not your body, and you will not need to know where you came from or what will happen after death. It will not be necessary to know this, because you will experience that complete good, for which there are no questions about either the past or the future.
Lao Tzu
If you want change in the future, be that change in the present.

Everything has its hour and time for every work under heaven; Time to be born and time to die; A time to plant and a time to uproot what is planted; A time to kill and a time to heal; A time to destroy and a time to build; A time to cry and a time to laugh; A time to groan and a time to dance; A time to scatter and a time to gather stones; A time to hug and a time to avoid hugging; Time to seek and time to lose; Time to keep and time to waste; Time to tear and time to sew; A time to be silent and a time to speak; A time to love and a time to hate; Time for war and time for peace.

Time passes, that's the problem. The past grows and the future shrinks. There are less and less chances to do something - and more and more offensive for what I did not have time to do.

In fact, there is no time, there is no “tomorrow”, there is only the eternal “now”
Akunin B.

Still, Time, wherever you look, weaves all things and events into one continuous canvas, don't you think? We are accustomed to shredding this fabric, adjusting individual pieces to our personal dimensions - and therefore we often see Time only as scattered shreds of our own illusions; in fact, the connection of things in the fabric of Time is really continuous
Haruki Murakami

I think that a good half of all human deeds have as their goal the realization of the unrealizable. I think that most of our smallest disappointments are due to the fact that something unrealizable appears to us in the future, and then, some time later, already in the past - realizable, and then we feel it that we have not realized it.
Sartre J.-P.

We don't have time to be ourselves. It's just enough to be happy.

There is something that has a special magic not to depend on us! What's this? Time! And no matter how much we want, no matter how we strive, no matter how much effort we put in, time is not interested in us, or our opinion, or what the days and years are doing to us! This is an indicator of the highest power that exists in this world. It is this concept that rules everything and always, and even our life is subject to it! And that is why there are the sharpest statements about him, he has always been spoken of with special admiration and reverence. Here you will find quotes about time. We will show the phrases of great people about time, what they thought and how they treated it.

We would like to tell you about those words and sayings that can characterize the time:

• Einstein gave his opinion on such a constantly fickle concept;
• What are the opinions about time and love;
• The saying that time flies imperceptibly for a person.

Everything has its own biography. It's just that time doesn't have it. It is difficult to imagine that time was once born. And before that? Didn't he exist? Is it possible? Catchphrases help to understand the definition of this concept and its meaning for people.

Great quotes

How often quotes about time show that we do not understand its course, transience, its influence and its price. Some people say that time is money. And another argues that time is priceless. And one of the greatest scientists of the Universe, Einstein, who is accustomed to analyze everything, understand and check the facts, suddenly announced to the whole world that what he so often used as a quantity, on which all his famous theories are based, which turned the understanding of this world, is just… an illusion! Yes Yes! Delusion, deceit, fantasy and phantom! This is how reference publications characterize the word "illusion".

If Einstein knew what he was talking about, then how can this “fantasy” influence us so inexorably that people, not wanting it, begin to plan their short days and lives, writing down minutes, hours and years? But there are other characteristics, other aphorisms about time. Not only Einstein, but philosophers of different times and cultures have expressed their opinion. What these extraordinary personalities thought, and how they will help us to expand this concept, it will become clear from the words they said about time with meaning.

Three things never come back: Time, Word, Opportunity. So... do not waste time, choose your words, do not miss the opportunity.
(Confucius) Child's hour longer than an old man's day.
(Arthur Schopenhauer) A day to look at like a little life.
(Maksim Gorky) Don't waste your time man who does not seek to spend it with you.
(Gabriel Marquez) True love is not that endures long years of separation, and the one that endures long years of intimacy.
(Helen Rowland) The word "tomorrow" is coined for indecisive people and for children.
(Ivan Turgenev)

There is time to work and there is a time to love. There is no other time left.
(Coco Chanel)

Happy watch is not observed.
(Alexander Griboyedov) Everything comes in due time for those who know how to wait.
(Honore de Balzac) Time- money.
(Benjamin Franklin) Time is sand. Life is water. Words are wind... Be careful with these components... So that it doesn't turn out - dirt...

Beautiful and meaningful

In contrast to Einstein's opinion of a vague, almost mysterious illusion, other thinkers gave time more importance and defined it in very clear outlines. Such diverse views provide the most voluminous information and reveal all the possibilities that time has, quotes help to see this.

Someone gives healing properties to this concept, saying that time heals. The author understands exactly how important it is sometimes to be patient, waiting for changes. Like a pill taken, the passed period should affect the well-being and circumstances of people if misfortunes fall upon them. The same principles guide people who expect something good from life, but for a long time do not have what they want.

Time strengthens friendship but weakens love.
(Jean La Bruyère) It's stupid to plan for life, without being master even of tomorrow.
(Seneca) Life is a very short time between two eternities.
(Carlyle Thomas) time passes, that's the trouble. The past grows and the future shrinks. There are less and less chances to do something - and all the more offensive for what I did not have time to do.
(Haruki Murakami)

The time will come, when you decide it's over. This will be the beginning.
(Louis Lamour)

And whatever happens to us TOMORROW...
We have TODAY and NOW in stock!

To find out the price of the year, ask the student who failed the exam.

To find out the price of a month, ask a mother who has given birth prematurely.

To find out the price of the week, ask the editor of the weekly.

To know the price of an hour, ask a lover who is waiting for his beloved.

To find out the price of a minute, ask a latecomer to the train.

To find out the value of a second, ask someone who has lost a loved one in a car accident.

For the price of one thousandth of a second, ask an Olympic silver medalist.

The hands of the clock won't stop running. So cherish every moment of your life. And appreciate today as the greatest gift that you have been given.
(Bernard Werber. Empire of Angels)

The common man thinks how to pass the time. A smart person thinks about how to use time. Every minute when you get mad at someone, you lose 60 seconds of happiness that you will never get back.
(Ralph Waldo Emerson) Time is like a mosquito: it's good to kill him with a book.
(Konstantin Melikhan) All that matters does not happen urgently. Anything that is urgent is just vanity.
(Xiang Tzu)
Among the statements there are also about love. These topics have been intertwined for centuries, since there is no time limit for eternal feelings, and you cannot limit them even to a lifetime. Some still keep freshness, as if we are talking about modern people and their feelings.

Is it possible to find the day, hour, year? Nobody heard about it. But there are cases of lost time, when it was wasted by those who did not appreciate it. It is no coincidence that in the modern world there is a really operating organization that has put minutes above money. And in it you can get services under certain conditions. And usefully spent time is a good use of it, which characterizes it with dignity.

About the transience of life

Aphorisms about time and its swiftness are probably the most famous and widespread. These words are the best, they tell about its main features. After all, sooner or later, but every person thinks about how quickly his life has flown by. I want to find an explanation for this, and understand what the meaning of existence is.

There are many such expressions, since each of us wants to give an assessment of the lived period and outlined plans for the future. Any such quote only confirms in the thought that life is fleeting, and plans and ideas are always not enough of these. But this understanding does not always come in time. That is why the experience of those who came to such an idea and shared it is invaluable.

Use every moment so as not to repent later and not to regret that I missed my youth.
(Paulo Coelho) You are too busy what was and what will be... The sages say: the past is forgotten, the future is closed, the present is bestowed. That's why it's called real.
("Kung Fu Panda") Don't say you don't have time. You have exactly as much time as Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, Pasteur, Helen Keller, Albert Einstein had.
(Jackson Brown)

Between success and failure lies the abyss, whose name is "I have no time."
(Franklin Field)

Time lost with pleasure, is not considered lost.
(John Lennon) Yesterday- this is history.
Tomorrow is a mystery.
Today's gift!
(Alice Morse Earl)
Time flew like a bird. It can't be stopped or brought back. And how you spend your life will show whether you were wise enough to learn from the experience of those who shared their observations. This true collection, which is presented on our website, is imbued with the magic of real people, where each fate is an invaluable lesson for all those who are looking for an explanation of who we are, what and where our life goes, what things we considered more important for ourselves, what we paid attention to. they have so much meaning.

Life is always happening now. Get comfortable in the present moment...

Once upon a time, Plato said: “Time takes away everything,” and although this expression is more than one hundred years old, it still remains relevant. But not only Plato liked to philosophize about the course of being and the transience of life. Many famous writers and great thinkers have similar sayings. So many lines have been written on the topic “Time” that it is simply impossible to count them all.

And therefore, let's plunge into the world of literature and draw some wisdom from there. Consider the most striking and beautiful statements of the great about time and its course - about the eternal sequence of life and death. And who knows, perhaps this knowledge will be able to radically change someone's worldview.

Transience of everything

I would like to start with the fact that many statements about time show us how fleeting everything is in the world. It would seem that just yesterday we were little children and ran around the parental yard, and today we are already watching our own grandchildren grow up. And this order of things applies to everything that surrounds us.

That is why many sayings about time remind us that everything in this world has its end.

1. "Minutes, like fast horses, fly without looking back. You look around - the sunset is so close that it can no longer be turned back" (Al-Maarri).
2. "Life will fly by like a crazy wind, and nothing will hold it back"
3. “Alas, one cannot return one’s youth, become again as unrestrainedly bold and beautiful. Even a youthful gait cannot be turned back” (Yu. Bondarev).
4. "The closer old age is, the faster the clock moves."
5. "In this life, only the tide and time do not wait for anyone" (V. Scott).

Learn to value time

However, realizing the transience of time is only half the battle. After that, you need to learn how to take care of it, cherish every second you live. After all, time is the most valuable currency in the world. But unlike real bills, it cannot be borrowed or stolen from another person.

And therefore, many tirelessly remind us of how important it is to appreciate every second of your life:

1. "The wise use of time makes it even more precious" (J. J. Rousseau).
2. "Learning to enjoy the past means learning to live doubly" (Martial).
3. “He who dares to waste an hour of his time simply does not know how to live” (Charles Darwin).
4. "Time does not wait for anyone, and even more so does not forgive a single missed moment" (N. Garin-Mikhailovsky).
5. "One today is much more expensive than two tomorrows" (B. Franklin).

How to spend your life

Well, for those who have realized everything, there is only one thing left - to learn how to spend it wisely. After all, there are thousands of different possibilities and chances that should be tried and tested. This is the only way to feel the true taste of life, so that later you will not regret anything. And here are the most striking expressions about time, proving this truth:

1. "Every new day is a student of yesterday"
2. "Life ceases to be short for those who have learned to use it wisely" (Seneca Jr.).
3. “Only a few are able to see the world in all its details. Most involuntarily limit themselves to one of its versions or several areas; but the less a person knows about the present and the past, the more fragile his hopes for a brighter future become” (Sigmund Freud).

Sayings about time: the wonderful world of watches

In conclusion, here are a few more sayings about the passage of time left to us by the great minds of the past. And let the depth of their wisdom become a real find for the inquisitive minds of our time.

1. "People with a sour expression pass thousands of hours past them, forgetting to enjoy them. And then, with the advent of old age, they sadly remember them" (A. Schopenhauer).
2. "A mediocre person thinks about how to kill time. A talented person seeks to use it correctly" (A. Schopenhauer).
3. "Only time can heal all wounds" (Menander).
4. "Life seems long if it is filled with something important. Therefore, let's measure it by actions, and not by the hours that have passed" (Seneca).
5. "If time is the most precious thing, then wasting it is the greatest crime"
