Quotes and Aphorisms 21.05.2018

Dear readers, today let’s talk to you about such an elusive and incomprehensible thing as time. It cannot be touched, it is intangible, however, sometimes we simply physically feel how it leaves. Everything in this world has its price. And only time is priceless. It is impossible to stop him; unfortunately, you cannot even slow him down. And you can spend your time in different ways. But it is entirely within our power to ensure that our time spent is filled with meaning.

Time is such an ordinary and everyday thing in our lives that we think little about what it even is. The scientific definition of time is very boring and tricky, so we will try to describe it with the help of accurate and succinct quotes and aphorisms about time.

What is time?

“Time is a moving image of motionless eternity. Anything that disrupts the unity of society is no good; all institutions that put a person in contradiction with himself are worth nothing.”

Jean-Jacques Rousseau

“The wisest thing is time, for it reveals everything.”

“Time is such an uncertain thing. For some it seems very long. For others it’s the other way around.”

Agatha Christie

“Time is the mother and nurse of all good things.”

William Shakespeare

“Time is a great teacher. The trouble is that it kills its students.”

“Time is the doctor of all inevitable evils.”

“Time is a precious gift given to us in order to become smarter, better, more mature and more perfect.”

Thomas Mann

“Time is endless movement, without a single moment of rest - and it cannot be thought of otherwise.”

Lev Tolstoy

“What is time? If no one asks me about it, I know what time is; if I wanted to explain to the questioner, no, I don’t know.”

Aurelius Augustine the Blessed

“Time is just the sequence of our thoughts. Our soul is capable of self-immersion; it can form its own society.”

Nikolay Karamzin

“I know very well what time is until I think about it. But once you think about it, I no longer know what time is!”

Augustine Aurelius

“Time is the most precious of all treasures.”

Theophrastus

Everything in our life comes in its own time

Sometimes a person who is passionate about an idea rushes things, rushes, and often this ultimately only harms the cause. Quotes and aphorisms about time very accurately reflect the idea that everything has its time. Sometimes you need to take your time, collect your thoughts, and sometimes you need to be able to wait.

“For everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven. A time to be born and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up 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 mourn, and a time to dance; a time to scatter stones, and a time to gather stones; a time to hug, and a time to avoid hugs; time to seek, and time to lose; a time to save, and a time to throw away; a time to rend, and a time to sew together; a time to be silent and a time to speak; a time to love and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace."

Ecclesiastes

“Everything in our life comes in its own time. You just have to learn to wait!”

Honore de Balzac

“Don't rush to live. There is a time for everything - and everything will be a joy for you. For many, life is too long because happiness is too short: they missed joy early, did not enjoy it enough, then they would like to return it, but they have gone far from it. They rush through life on postal trains, adding their own haste to the usual passage of time; one day they are ready to swallow something that they cannot digest in their entire life; they live their joys on credit, devour them for years to come, hurry and hurry - and squander everything. Even in knowledge you need to know the measure, not to gain knowledge that is not worth knowing. We have been given more days than blessed hours. Enjoy slowly, but act quickly. Actions completed - good; the joys are over - it’s bad.”

Baltasar Gracian y Morales

“To choose time is to save time, and what is done untimely is done in vain.”

Francis Bacon

“There is time for everything: a time for conversation, a time for peace.”

“Every comedy, like every song, has its time and its time.”

Miguel de Cervantes

“Even if you are very talented and put in a lot of effort, some results just take time: you won’t get a baby in a month even if you get nine women pregnant.”

Warren Buffett

About time with deep meaning

Time is an elusive and strange substance that governs our entire life. That is why so many facets of this concept are meaningfully reflected in quotes and aphorisms about time. Sometimes the meaning of these statements is not on the surface, which will give us a lot to think about.

“Time is motionless, like a shore: it seems to us that it is running, but, on the contrary, we are passing.”

Pierre Buast

Pierre de Ronsard

“Time is the truest ally of perseverance.”

About time and love...

Time and love have a strange and paradoxical relationship. On the one hand, when a person is in love, his time with his loved one flies by completely unnoticed. On the other hand, it is no secret that over time, the feeling of intense love degenerates into a mature and calm relationship. Everyone is familiar with the expression that time is the killer of love. It is this dual connection that is spoken of in quotes and aphorisms about time and love.

“Don't ever leave me. - I will never leave you. - Never. Never - such a short time."

Erich Maria Remarque

“Age does not protect you from love, but love protects you from age.”

Jeanne Moreau

"There is a time to work, and there is a time to love. There is no other time left."

Coco Chanel

“Love kills time, and time kills love.”

About time and life

Despite the fact that time is an intangible concept, it is the most valuable resource at the disposal of humanity. How a person spends his time largely determines what his life will be like. Quotes and aphorisms about time and life say this very wisely.

“Time plays an important role in a person’s life; throughout life a person plays different roles and it must be used wisely.”

Sylvester

“A person who decides to waste even one hour of his time has not yet matured enough to understand the full value of life.”

Charles Darwin

“With every new minute a new life begins for us.”

Jerome Klapka Jerome

“Time never stands still, life is constantly evolving, human relationships change every fifty years.”

Johann Wolfgang Goethe

“It’s stupid to make plans for your whole life without even being a master of tomorrow.”

“The great science of living happily is to live only in the present.”

“Life gives you a lot to think about, but little time.”

Vladimir Semenov

“There is no time - life is so short - for squabbles, apologies, bile and calls to account. There is only time to love, and even for this, so to speak, there is only a moment.”

Mark Twain

“Life and time are two teachers. Life teaches us how to manage time correctly, time teaches us to value life.”

“You have things in life that you spend more time on.”

Does time heal...

There are many ambivalent aspects in statements about time. One of them is the age-old debate about whether time heals our wounds or not. I still like the idea that time itself is not capable of healing any of our traumas until we ourselves let them go. And then our brain will push bad memories to the farthest shelf of memory, and over time we will come across them less and less often. This is very accurately and aptly stated in the quotes that time does not heal.

“And time doesn’t heal. It does not mend the wounds, it simply covers them on top with a gauze bandage of new impressions, new sensations, life experiences... And sometimes, clinging to something, this bandage flies off, and fresh air enters the wound, giving it new pain... and new life... Time is a bad doctor... It makes you forget about the pain of old wounds, inflicting more and more new ones... So we crawl through life, like its wounded soldiers... And every year the number of poorly applied bandages on the soul grows and grows..."

Erich Maria Remarque

"Time does not heal! Time will judge, time will show: who is the enemy, where are the friends... Only time will be dispassionate and sincere.”

"Time does not heal. We just get used to this pain, learn to live with it, and it becomes part of us.”

“Time does not heal; time fills the memory with other events.”

“Time still doesn’t heal. Perhaps it treats us like it treats sick children - it tries to distract us, slips us new toys... And we push them away, demand an old worn-out teddy bear, turn to the wall and sniffle resentfully..."

“Time is the doctor of all inevitable evils.”

“Where the mind is powerless, time often helps.”

Seneca Lucius Anyaeus

“There are two medicines for every misfortune - time and silence.”

Alexandre Dumas, "The Count of Monte Cristo"

“What grief does not time take away? What passion will survive the unequal struggle with him?

Nikolay Gogol

“You feed your own misfortune by devoting time to it. Time is his blood."

Eckhart Tolle

How quickly time flies...

At different periods of our lives, time moves differently. The waiting time for a holiday is always longer than the holiday itself. What can we say about the main indicator of human time - age. Therefore, it is so important to be able to appreciate every moment and hour of our life. Quotes and aphorisms about how quickly and inexorably time flies so accurately hit the target and sink into the soul.

“A child’s hour is longer than an old man’s day.”

Arthur Schopenhauer

“Time passes, that’s the problem. The past grows and the future shrinks. There are fewer and fewer chances to do anything - and more and more resentment for what I didn’t manage to do.”

Haruki Murakami

“Use every moment so that you don’t repent later and regret that you missed your youth.”

Paulo Coelho

“As a child, it seems that life just drags on, crawls. I wish I could grow up faster! In my youth, everything seems to be going well and it seems that it will be like this forever - I wish I could have stuck here longer, or better yet, forever. Others can only grow old, but I never! In middle age, sometimes you forget to monitor its speed - you don’t have time, you don’t have time, or you’re lazy. It goes slowly and okay. And then the time comes when you understand that life did not crawl, did not walk, and did not stand, but flew, and always.”

Galina Bobyleva

“Youth flies quickly: seize the passing time. The past day is always better than the present day.”

“Keep your time! Guard him any hour, any minute. Without supervision, it will slip away like a lizard. Illuminate every moment with an honest, worthy achievement! Give it weight, meaning, light.”

Thomas Mann

“Time moves slowly when you follow it... It feels watched. But it takes advantage of our absent-mindedness. It is even possible that there are two times: the one we follow and the one that transforms us.”

Albert Camus

Great people about time

Of course, such a subtle and elusive matter as time could not be ignored by famous scientists, philosophers, writers, speakers, and politicians. Some compared time to material wealth, others believed that it was priceless, the great Einstein went further than anyone and completely turned all human knowledge about time upside down. The quotes and aphorisms of great people about time combine all their wisdom and vast life experience.

“Money is expensive, human life is even more expensive, and time is most precious.”

Alexander Suvorov

Stanislav Jerzy Lec

“The first hour that gave us life shortened it.”

Beautiful words about time

After all, it is entirely within our power to fill our existence with meaning and not waste a single moment.

Time slips through the fingers of lowered hands.

I am outraged that the precious hours of our lives, these wonderful moments that will never return, are wasted aimlessly sleeping.

"Klapka Jerome"

Parting with a person is a matter of five seconds, but in order to part with thoughts about him, five years may not be enough.

The soul has no age, and I don't understand why we are so concerned about the passage of time.

"Paulo Coelho"

The ability to foresee is assessed by history and confirmed by time.

I need time to get rid of this feeling.

Whoever said time heals all wounds lied. Time only helps you learn to bear the blow, and then live with these wounds.

Time is an amazing phenomenon. There is so little of it when you are late and so much of it when you are waiting.

By giving up the phrase “I don’t have time...”, you will soon realize that you have time for almost everything you consider necessary to do in life.

"Beau Bennett"

The average person is concerned with how to kill time, but the talented person strives to use it.

"Arthur Schopenhauer"

By working more, you cannot have more free time - by working more, you can only earn more.

Time is the most precious of all treasures.

"Theophrastus"

The loss of time is heaviest for those who know more.

Don't waste time on a person who doesn't want to spend it with you.

"Gabriel Marquez"

Some moments taste like eternity.

Time moves slowly when you follow it... it feels watched. But it takes advantage of our absent-mindedness. It is even possible that there are two times: the one we follow, and the one that transforms us.

"A. Camus"

Successive years steal something from us every day, until finally they steal us.

"Alexander Pope"

And time does not heal. It mends the wounds, it simply covers them on top with a gauze bandage of new impressions, new sensations, life experiences... And sometimes, clinging to something, this bandage flies off, and fresh air enters the wound, giving it new pain... and new life... Time- bad doctor... Makes you forget about the pain of new wounds, inflicting more and more new ones. So we crawl through life, like its wounded soldiers... And every year the number of poorly applied bandages in our soul grows and grows...

"Erich Maria Remarque"

The universe and time are infinite, which means that any event is inevitable, even the impossible.

Time is a tyrant that has its own whims and that every century looks at what they do and say with different eyes.

An ordinary person thinks about how to spend his time. A smart person thinks about how to use time.

Even in the worst fate there are opportunities for happy changes.

"Erasmus of Rotterdam"

Only what should happen happens. Everything starts on time. And it ends too.

“Fyodor Dostoevsky?”

There are many ways to kill time - and not one to resurrect it.

The man who founded IKEA divides his entire day into ten-minute chunks. This is what he says: “If ten minutes have passed, then it’s irrevocable. Divide your life into ten-minute pieces and don’t let even a moment waste away.”


There is something that has a special magic that does not depend on us! What is 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, nor in our opinion, nor in what the days and years do 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 subordinate to it! And that is why there are the most pointed statements about him; they have always spoken about him with special admiration and respect. Here you will find quotes about time. We will show 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 time:

  • Einstein expressed his opinion about such an ever-impermanent concept;
  • What are your opinions about time and love?
  • The saying that time flies unnoticed by a person.
Everything has its own biography. But time doesn’t have it. It's hard to imagine that time was ever born. And before that? Wasn't he there? Is it possible? Catchphrases help to understand the definition of this concept and its meaning for people.

Quotes from the greats

How often do quotes about time show that we do not understand its passage, its transience, its influence and its cost. Some people say that time is money. And another argues that time is priceless. And one of the greatest scientists of the Universe, Einstein, accustomed to analyzing, understanding and checking facts, suddenly announced to the whole world that what he so often used as a quantity, on which all his famous theories, which revolutionized the understanding of this world, are based, is just... an illusion! Yes Yes! Delusion, deception, fantasy and phantom! This is how reference books characterize the word “illusion.”


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

Three things never come back: Time, Word, Opportunity. Therefore... don’t waste time, choose your words, don’t miss the opportunity.
(Confucius) Child's hour longer than an old man's day.
(Arthur Schopenhauer) One must look at the day like a little life.
(Maksim Gorky) Don't waste your time on a person who doesn't want to spend it with you.
(Gabriel Marquez) True love is not like that the one that can withstand many years of separation, and the one that can withstand many years of intimacy.
(Helen Rowland) The word "tomorrow" was invented for indecisive people and for children.
(Ivan Turgenev)



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

Happy They don't watch the clock.
(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 the wind... Be careful with these components... So that it doesn't turn out to be dirt...

Beautiful and meaningful

Contrary to the view that Einstein had of a vague, almost mysterious illusion, other thinkers gave time more meaning and defined it in very clear outlines. Such diverse views provide the most comprehensive information and reveal all the possibilities that time has; quotes help you see this.


Some people attach healing properties to this concept, saying that time heals. The author understands exactly how important it is to sometimes be patient while waiting for changes. Like a pill taken, the period passed should affect the well-being and circumstances of people if misfortune befalls them. People who expect something good from life, but for a long time do not have what they want, are guided by the same principles.

Time strengthens friendship, but weakens love.
(Jean Labruyère) It's stupid to make plans 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 problem. The past grows and the future shrinks. There are fewer and fewer chances to do anything - and more and more resentment for what you did not manage to do.
(Haruki Murakami)

The time will come, when you think 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 a student who failed an exam.

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

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

To find out the price of an hour, ask a lover waiting for his beloved.

To find out the price of a minute, ask someone who is late for the train.

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

To find out the value of one thousandth of a second, ask an Olympic silver medalist.

The clock hands will not stop running. Therefore, cherish every moment of your life. And appreciate today as the greatest gift that has been given to you.
(Bernard Werber. Empire of Angels)

The average person thinks how to pass the time. A smart person thinks about how to use time. Every minute When you get angry 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 It's not urgent. Everything that is urgent is just vanity.
(Xiang Tzu)
Among the statements there are also ones about love. These themes have been intertwined for centuries, since there is no time limit for eternal feelings, and they cannot be limited even to a lifetime. Some still remain fresh, as if we are talking about modern people and their feelings.


Is it possible to find the day, hour, year? No one has heard of this. But there are cases of wasted time, when it was wasted by those who did not value it. It is no coincidence that in the modern world there is a really functioning organization that puts minutes above money. And you can get services there under certain conditions. And time spent usefully is a good use of it, which characterizes it well.

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, every person thinks about how quickly his life has flown by. I would like to find an explanation for this and understand the meaning of existence.

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

Use every moment so that later you won’t repent and regret that you missed your youth.
(Paulo Coelho) You're too busy what was and what will be... The sages say: the past is forgotten, the future is closed, the present is given. That's why they call him real.
("Kung Fu Panda") Don't talk about how 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 is a gift!
(Alice Morse Earl)
Time flew like a bird. It cannot be stopped and cannot be brought back. And how you spend your life will show whether you were wise enough to learn from the experiences 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 explanations of who we are, what and where our lives go, what things we considered more important for ourselves, what we devoted they have so much meaning.


Life always happens now. Get comfortable in the present moment...
