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 much 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 would like to find an explanation for this, and understand what is the meaning of existence.

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 the same amount of 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...

Most of us know only a couple of quotes about time, which boil down to the fact that time, firstly, is money, and, secondly, business is time, and fun is an hour. The author of the first statement is the American scientist and politician Benjamin Franklin, and the second - the Russian Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich. And, in principle, for many, the knowledge of smart and beautiful phrases about time ends here. What else do people know exactly about time, that it should be valued. True, despite this knowledge, some people prefer to "kill" time, rather than spend it usefully. We propose to combine the first and second - to spend a few minutes with benefit: to read, perhaps, new quotes about time with meaning. After all, throughout the history of mankind, billions of people have tried to understand what time is, and thousands of writers and scientists have tried to give it their own definition. We have collected their quotes on this subject especially for you.

Over time, we will all understand that our life passes unnoticed, and that we cannot bring back what has already passed. But it will be too late… We hope that these sayings and quotes about time will help you understand its value.

Time is ruthless and inexorable, it takes away from us all the most precious things, starting from youth, and ending with people dear to us. One of the quotes says that time is the best healer. Controversial assertion. After all, it can hurt itself. You could say time is a good teacher. This will be closer to the truth. Remember the value of time.

Phrases and quotes about time and its significance of great people

Alcohol, hashish, hydrocyanic acid and strychnine are just weak solutions. The most reliable poison is time.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

I never watch the clock: time is made for man, not man for time.
Francois Rabelais

People spend their lives in anticipation, in the determination to indulge in serene happiness sometime later, when there is time for this. But the present has one advantage over any other time: it belongs to us. The past opportunities have passed, the future has not yet arrived. We can stock up on pleasures as we would stock up on wine; but if we tarry too much in their use, we shall find both sour with age!
Charles Caleb Colton

Seize this hour before it eludes you. Rare are moments of life, truly great and significant.

Whether we like it or not, our life is fleeting and there is no way to "pause" it in order to look around. As it was once said, the next second we will not be younger than this one. Such transience of time can be frightening, but you can treat it philosophically - as an inevitable fact. Understand that you need to live here and now. It is possible that quotes about time with meaning will make you think about it. After all, sooner or later, everyone can face the fact that, waking up one morning, they will understand that in their life they have not managed to do anything of what they dreamed about. Yes, time is cruel, it will not spare anyone. Therefore, you can not postpone your plans, dreams and desires for later.

With every passing second, a person inexorably grows older, and because of the wasted time allotted to him, he loses a lot. Lost deeds, missed opportunities, wasted weeks, months and years.

Lee Iacocca

The duration of time, although clearly measured in seconds, minutes, hours, and so on, but the thief's perception of time differs depending on age. Children believe that time passes, does not even pass, but stretches very slowly. They want to grow up faster. Adults, on the contrary, believe that time is running and, unfortunately, often runs past. Adults would like to return the happy moments of their childhood, but it's too late. And the best quotes about time will confirm this for you. There is something to think about here...

Dietrich Bonhoeffer

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. You will not need 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.
Gandhi Mahatma

Each act is nothing in comparison with the infinity of space and time, and at the same time its action is infinite in space and time.
Tolstoy L.N.

The purpose of life is life!? If you look deeply into life, of course, the highest good is existence itself. There is nothing more stupid than to neglect the present in favor of the future. The present is the real sphere of being...
Herzen A.I.

Time is like a child led by the hand: looking back...
Cortazar H.

He who cannot attach himself to any end point, to any point in time in the future, to any stop, is in danger of falling inwards.
Frankl V.

If the factor of finiteness of life deprives it of its meaning, it would not matter when the end comes, whether in the foreseeable future or very, very soon. We would have to admit that the time when everything ends is not significant

Pavic M.

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.
Ecclesiastes

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.

Sartre J.-P.

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.
Camyu A.

Everything under the sky is only temporary.
Lao Tzu

Everything flows, everything changes.
Heraclitus

Among the unknown in the nature around us, the most unknown is time, because no one knows what time is and how to control it.

That time either does not exist at all, or scarcely exists, being something obscure, can be assumed on the basis of the following. One part of it was and no longer exists, the other is in the future and does not yet exist; From these parts, both infinite time and each time allocated a period of time are added. And what is composed of the non-existent cannot, as it seems, be involved in existence.

There is something indivisible in time, which we call "now". Nothing can be grasped in time except now. "Now" is a continuous connection of time, it connects the past with the future and in general is the boundary of time, being the beginning of one and the end of another. Since "now" is the end of the past and the beginning of the future, time always begins and ends. And it will never stop because it always starts.

Aristotle

Time itself is eternal in its concept, because it is not some definite time and also not present, but time as time constitutes its concept. But the latter, like every concept in general, is itself eternal, and therefore also absolute present. There will be no eternity. There was no eternity, but there is eternity.

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

Why are your watches running out? they ask me. But the point is not that they spread! The bottom line is that my watch shows the exact time.

Salvador Dali

A person who dares to waste an hour of time has not yet realized the value of life.

Charles Darwin

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. You will not need 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 Time passes so slowly that it seems as if it has stopped. Devouring time. Everything can ease time, but not my sadness. Days run away, and we can't hold them back. Moments are forever replacing each other. Ovid Time is a mirage; it shortens in moments of happiness and stretches out in hours of suffering. Richard Aldington

Time is like a skillful steward, constantly producing new talents to replace those that have disappeared.

Kozma Petrovich Prutkov

Time takes everything; a long series of years is able to change the name, and appearance, and character, and fate.

Nothing is more painful to a wise man and nothing gives him more anxiety than the need to spend more time on trifles and useless things than they deserve.

Time is a moving likeness of eternity.

Plato

In difficult times, naivety is the most precious treasure, it is a magical cloak that hides those dangers that the clever one directly jumps on, as if hypnotized.

It's an eternity if you're really unhappy.

Erich Maria Remarque

Eternity is the time when ideals exist.

Jean Paul Richter

Youth thinks only about the present, while mature age does not neglect either the present, or the past, or the future.

Fernando de Rojas

There are times when the government loses the trust of the people, but I don't know of a time when it could trust it.

Antoine Rivarol

Time and tide never wait.

The bad consequences of crimes live longer than the crimes themselves.

Walter Scott

Save time.

Every business has its time.

Only time belongs to us.

Life is long if it is full. We will measure it by actions, not by time.

Who can you name me, who would have any idea how to value time?

Misfortune is a convenient time for virtue.

Avarice is noble only in spending time.

Seneca

There is no time, there is only a moment. And therefore, in this one moment, one must rely all one's strength.

We cannot imagine life after death, and we cannot remember life before birth, because we cannot imagine anything outside of time.

Each act is nothing in comparison with the infinity of space and time, and at the same time its action is infinite in space and time.

Is it really only then that I appeared for this short period of time in the world in order to lie, confuse, do stupid things and disappear.

Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy

Art performs the work of memory: it selects the most vivid, exciting, significant from the flow of time and captures it in the crystals of books.

Alexei Nikolaevich Tolstoy

Life is a reddish spark in the gloomy and mute ocean of Eternity, this is the only moment that belongs to us.

Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev

You are making the mistake of saying that you cannot move in Time. If, for example, I remember an event very vividly, then I return to the time of its occurrence and, as it were, mentally absent. I take a momentary leap into the past. Of course, we cannot remain in the past for any fraction of Time, just as a savage or an animal cannot hang in the air at a distance of even six feet from the ground. In this respect the civilized man has an advantage over the savage. He, despite the force of gravity, can rise up in a balloon. Why is it impossible to hope that in the end he will also be able to stop or speed up his movement in Time, or even turn in the opposite direction?

Herbert George Wells

If time is the most precious thing, then wasting time is the greatest waste.

Do you love life? Then don't waste your time; for time is the fabric of which life is made.

If you want to have leisure, don't waste your time.

Time is money.

Since you are not sure even for one minute, do not waste even one hour.
