“Time passes differently for different people”
William Shakespeare

The aphorisms published below about time will enable the reader to understand the essence of time and how to use it. After all, time is an important detail in our life. There is no time in eternity as such. Basically, it is our perception. An hour of happiness seems like a minute, a minute of unhappiness seems like an hour. Differences in the speed of the passage of time in childhood and old age.

And in a critical situation, in a state of passion, in general, there is such a slowdown that everything around starts to move slowly. From this it follows that its course can also be learned to control. However, be that as it may, everything in the manifested universe is subject to time, it changes constantly, every moment, however, like us. The body ages, although each has a different and different length, again the same time.

After all, the moment of perception immediately becomes the past, time, as it were, constantly flows and everything changes under its influence. At the same time, the future is approaching, coming, and few people are turned to face this future. People, for the most part, at best turn their backs on things to come. A person who is in the moment of his full perception can go face to face with life. In step with the times, so to speak! After all, walking backwards is not convenient both physiologically and internally. And the person, of course, will turn around. Time is sacred and more deeply studied for all true schools leading to the evolution of awareness. Any perception of the past, present and future is the result of attunement. Any waste of time should be unthinkable, to do this means to miss the emerging opportunity to be in the universal creation of the world every second, which, just as it once began and continues to be created in this moment, which how can you measure it? This is a broader topic.

These aphorisms, as well as sayings on other topics of our life, contain deep meaning and wisdom. Explanation of the laws and patterns of life, in all its breadth. You will learn the essence of time and its patterns, for reasonable use...

And then whole paragraphs of the characteristics of time went ...

♦ Do not rush to live. Everything has its time - and everything will be in your joy. For many, life is too long because happiness is too short: they missed the joys early, did not enjoy enough, then they would like to return, but they have gone far from them. Through life they rush on the postal ones, adding their haste to the usual run of time; in one day they are ready to swallow what they cannot digest in a lifetime; live joys in debt, devour for years to come, hurry and hurry - and squander everything. Even in knowledge it is necessary to know the measure, not to gain knowledge that is not worth knowing. We have been given more days than happy hours. Enjoy slowly, but act without delay. The deeds are over - good; joys are over - bad.

Second expression...

♦ A person who knows how to wait. He must have both great courage and considerable patience. Never rush or get excited. Learn to rule yourself, then you will rule others. To a favorable occasion one has to travel long paths of time. While you wisely procrastinate, future successes grow up, secret plans mature. With the crutch of time you will go further than with the chained club of Hercules. God Himself punishes not with a club, but with a twist. It is wisely said: "Time and I - against any enemy." Fortune herself rewards patience with her gifts.

Gracian y Morales

Social sharing...

Among the unknown in the nature around us, the most unknown is time, because no one knows what time is and how to manage 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. Time is running out, and we are silently aging over the years. The days are running away, and we can't hold them back. Moments are forever succeeding 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, naivete 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.

Alexey 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, 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.

Sayings about time have never been popular. And all because it is extremely difficult for a person to face the truth. Empty talk, pointless thinking about what needs to be done, and as a result, doing nothing kills time, leaving it no chance for life. Time is silent, if you do not appreciate it, then it will certainly go away, leaving behind a handful of memories, a few missed opportunities and a gray veil of the past.

Lost time

Statements about time often carry a truth that we refuse to notice. Abu-l-Faraj said that a person is amazingly arranged: he is so saddened by the lost wealth, but he is not at all upset by the lost time. The years are too fast. Before you have time to look back, you need to decorate the Christmas tree again and prepare for the New Year. It is worth asking yourself what happened in those 12 months. In most cases, people realize that nothing has changed in their lives. And life goes on slowly.

Belinsky once said: “In important matters, you need to hurry as if everything should perish from the loss of one minute.” This is a very wise saying about time. No man knows how long he has been given to live. And if he strives for something, wants something and craves above all else, even one lost minute can become fatal. A missed call, a failed conversation, a missed opportunity - in this matter, time is merciless. If it has thrown an opportunity, it is worth taking advantage of it, there will be no other chance.

great teacher

Although it is fleeting, but time teaches. G. Berlioz once remarked: "Time is an unsurpassed teacher, it is a pity that it kills its students." Only after a few years a person is able to understand the true meaning of his actions and the actions of other people.

And yet it is a pity that several decades must pass before a person understands who was his friend and who was his enemy. Who was ready to give his life for him, and for whom he was just a toy. Time reveals the truth, and it is not always pleasant for a person. Sayings about time contain many useful tips:

• « Who does not know the price of time, he was not born for glory»- L. Vovenarg.
• « From people, as well as from time, you can expect anything»- L. Vovenarg.
• « There are two tyrants on earth: time and chance"- I. Herder.
• « All-destroying time weakens everything around» - Horace.
• « Sooner or later time will reveal all the secrets» - Horace.

Priceless Capital

Statements on the topic of time more than once mention it as a precious capital that must be used wisely. Honore de Balzac knew for sure that time is the priceless capital of a mental worker. Whether it is a writer or a scientist, it is the availability of a sufficient amount of time that is an important factor for them in their professional activities.

You have to be careful with time. They say it's never enough. But this is true only for those who do nothing. Even Anton Chekhov said: "If you want to have little time, then do nothing." In fact, when a person really wants something, he finds not only time, but strength and opportunities. And then he will never complain about the lack of hours, and will happily spend every day. Here is what they say about the person and the time of the statement:

• « The one whose evening ends with the work of a lifetime does not need time» - Seneca.
• « A person works most of his time in order to live, and the small part of free time that he has becomes disturbing. Therefore, he tries in every way to get rid of him."- I. Goethe.

Your time

It is not typical for time to wait for someone, but only a person does not understand this. In the fleeting waltz of autumn leaves, year after year flies by, and with them, like sand through fingers, life escapes. Statements about time often try to point out to a person his recklessness, but these words, alas, go unnoticed:

• « Nothing can make up for the loss of time» - J. Buffon.
• « The hardest time to waste is the one who knows the most"- I. Goethe.
• « A person who decides to waste at least an hour of his life has not yet matured to realize the value of his existence.- Ch. Darwin.
• « The inability to save one's own and other people's time is a real lack of culture"- N. Krupskaya.

How not to waste your time?

It is human nature to wonder how to save the time allotted to him. The sayings of great people can give some practical advice, but first of all, you need to be guided by your own sanity and be able to prioritize:

• « Wise time management is the basis of activity»- I. Comenius.
• « The regret to which a person is attached about the unwisely wasted time does not always help to prudently spend his rest.» - J. La Bruyère.
• « There is no need to put off anything for tomorrow - this is the secret of someone who knows the true value of time"- E. Laboulet.
• « Time is the same as money, if you do not waste it in vain, then there will be enough for everything» - G. Lewis.
• « No need to deviate from your goal for a single day - this is the only way to extend the time»- G. Lichtenberg.

What are we spending time on?

In statements about time, it is rarely possible to find references to what exactly takes priceless hours of life from a person. Surely everyone at least once noticed that if you wait for someone, then the minutes crawl like snails, and if you have fun, watch movies or sit on social networks, then the day flies by like a moment. But TV and the Internet are not all time killers.

Senseless quarrels, work that you don’t like, relatives striving to set the right path, they also take up time. Endless entertainment, dreams leading nowhere, relationships that have come to a standstill. In a word, everything that does not bring happiness and benefit takes time. But a person does not have so much of it.

As Thomas Mann once said: "Time is a precious gift given to a person in order to become smarter, better and more perfect in it." Karl Marx also has a good saying about time with meaning: "Time is a space for the development of abilities."

Asking about the significance of time is like talking about the uselessness of your own existence. Our life is a small segment in the time stream of the Universe. No one knows how long he is destined to live: he will die young or live to a ripe old age. That is why every minute of life is precious. Time is a fruitful field, an endless power and opportunity. And if someone wants to achieve something, he must conscientiously fill his time with meaning.

My friend is my enemy

Seneca once said that only time belongs to man. He comes into the world with nothing and leaves it in the same way. The only thing he can manage is his days and years of life. Here, however, there is an amazing paradox. Michel de Montaigne was the first to notice him. A person never distributes his money to others just like that, but time and life are easy.

Time is the fabric of life, but we waste it on trifles, although in most cases we don’t even know about it. Francesco Petrarca noticed one very interesting fact: “Most of all and inconspicuously time is taken away by conversations with friends.” Based on this, it can be assumed that friends are the biggest time thieves. Indeed, rarely does anyone watch the clock when a cheerful friendly conversation is being conducted. So now? To be alone and not to communicate with anyone? Not at all. You just need to be able to manage time, then it will be enough for friends, and for sleep, and for making dreams come true.

For wise people, it is a burden to spend their precious minutes of life on empty and useless things, this brings anxiety and dissatisfaction. This fact needs special attention.

Wisdom of the times: sayings

Truly great and important is a person who has managed to gain power over minutes and seconds. How could he achieve this? He just did his job without complaining, without procrastinating or avoiding it. As a result, such a person in life has everything he ever wanted. He did not know more than the rest and did not have more than others, he simply understood that the second hand would never go backwards.

Perhaps life experience helped him to understand such a simple truth, or maybe these were the statements of people from the distant past:

• « Man can only manage his own time"- L. Feuerbach.
• « Only for those who are watching from the side, the minutes go very slowly- S. Johnson.
• « Life is multiplied by the amount of time saved» - F. Collier.
• « Sometimes delay is like death»- M. Lomonosov.
• « If you delay with an easy thing, it will turn into a difficult one, and if you delay with a difficult one, it will become impossible.» - D. Lorimer.
• « Whatever a person saves, in the end he will always try to save time.»- K. Marx.

And it also heals

What else can be said about time? Only that it does not like to wait for someone. Its natural course must be reckoned with, otherwise you will not catch up later and you will miss everything. And time heals. It carries away sadness on its wings, heals wounds, erases mistakes and polishes truths.

Of course, one can argue with this, saying that after a few years a person simply gets used to living with his broken dreams and a torn heart. Maybe it really is. There's just no one to ask. The only one who knows the answer to this question is time, but it is silent. It is always silent and silently leaves, leaving behind a few pictures, a handful of memories and a sea of ​​​​regrets.

If you do not learn to appreciate it, then it will turn into a gray and inglorious past, which will merge with a thousand other life paths and fade from the bright light of a sage who counts every minute.

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.

One who cannot attach himself to any end point, to any point in time in the future, to any stop, is in danger of falling inwardly.
Frankl W.

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
Frankl W.

There is no redemption, no remission of sins; sin has no value. It cannot be bought back until time itself is bought back.
Fowles J.

I never think about the future. It comes fast enough

We do not know what to do with our short life, but still we want to live forever

It is foolish to make plans for a lifetime without being master even of tomorrow.

Life is a very short time between two eternities.
Carlyle T.

Your past is hidden in your silence, the present is in your speech, and the future is in your erroneous steps.
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.
Haruki Murakami

Here it is time in its nakedness, it is carried out slowly, you have to wait for it, and when it comes, you feel sick, because you notice that it has long been here.
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.
