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 him 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 the bulk of his time in order to live, and the insignificant 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 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.
Amazing, tiny glimpses of the smallest beauty will be forgotten, time will smooth and dissolve them, like a film illuminated by the rays of a bright star. The growth will change the picture, adding colors and surroundings to the masterpiece.

Quotes of famous people about the meaning of life
27Quotes and Aphorisms 21.05.2018
Dear readers, today let's talk with you about such an elusive and incomprehensible thing as time. It cannot be touched, it is intangible, however, sometimes we just 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 use your time in different ways. But it is entirely within our power to make sure that our time spent is filled with meaning.
Time is such an ordinary and everyday thing in our life that we hardly think about what it is at all. The scientific definition of time is very boring and tricky, so we will try to describe it with the help of accurate and capacious quotes and aphorisms about time.
What is time?
“Time is a moving image of a motionless eternity. Everything that violates the unity of society is no good; all institutions that put a person in conflict with himself are worthless.
Jean Jacques Rousseau
“The wisest thing is time, for it reveals everything.”
“Time is such an uncertain thing. One seems very long. Others do the opposite."
Agatha Christie
"Time is the mother and nurse of all good things."
William Shakespeare
“Time is a great teacher. The trouble is, 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 in it."
Thomas Mann
"Time is an endless movement, without a single moment of rest - and it cannot be conceived 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 itself form its own society.
Nikolai Karamzin
“I know perfectly well what time is until I think about it. But it’s worth thinking about - and now I don’t know what time is!
Augustine Aurelius
"Time is the most precious of all treasures."
Theophrastus
Everything in our life comes in due time
Sometimes a person, carried away by an idea, rushes things, rushes things, and often this, in the end, only harms the cause. In quotes and aphorisms about time, the idea that everything has its own time is very accurately reflected. Sometimes you need to slowly collect your thoughts, and sometimes you need to be able to wait.
“There is a time for everything, and a time for every thing under heaven. A time to be born and a 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 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 hugging; time to seek, and time to lose; a time to save, and a time to throw; a time to tear apart, and a time to sew; 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 due time. You just have to learn to wait!”
Honore de Balzac
“Don't 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 - it's bad.
Baltasar Gracian y Morales
"Choosing time means saving time, and what is done out of time is done in vain."
Francis Bacon
"There is a time for everything: its hour for conversation, its hour for peace."

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

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 next to his loved one flies by completely unnoticed. On the other hand, it is no secret that over time, the feeling of acute love is reborn into a mature and calm relationship. Everyone knows the expression that time is the killer of love. It is this dual relationship that is spoken of in quotes and aphorisms about time and love.

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

Does time heal...
There are many ambiguities in statements about time. One of them is the age-old debate about whether or not time heals our wounds. Still, I am close to the idea that time itself is not able to heal any of our injuries until we ourselves let them go. And then our brain will move bad memories to the farthest shelf of memory, and over time we will stumble upon them less and less. This is very accurately and aptly stated in quotes that time does not heal.
“Time doesn’t heal. It does not darn wounds, it simply covers them from above with a gauze bandage of new impressions, new sensations, life experience ... 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... And so we crawl through life, like its wounded soldiers... And every year everything grows in my soul and the number of poorly applied bandages 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 impassive 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 does not heal. Perhaps it treats us like it treats sick children - it tries to distract, slips new toys ... And we push them away, demand an old worn out teddy bear, turn to the wall and sniff offendedly ... "
"Time is the doctor of all inevitable evils."
“Where the mind is powerless, time often helps.”

How fast time passes...
In 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

“Use every moment so that later you do not repent and do not regret that you missed your youth.”
Paulo Coelho
“In childhood, it seems that life just weaves, crawls. Grow up faster! In my youth - it seems to be going well and it seems that it will be like this forever - it would be better to get stuck here longer, but better forever. Others can only grow old, but I never! In middle age, sometimes you forget to follow her speed - not before, once or laziness. It's slow and good. And now the time comes when you realize that life did not crawl, did not walk and did not stand, but flew, and always.”
Galina Bobyleva
“Youth flies fast: catch the passing time. The past day is always better than the present day.

Great people about time
Of course, famous scientists, philosophers, writers, orators, and politicians could not ignore such a subtle and elusive matter as time.

Yes, unfortunately, time is inexorable. You can't stop him, you can't ask him to slow down. And sooner or later there comes a moment when a person himself realizes the value of time. The main thing is that it should be on time. After all, it is entirely in our power to fill our existence with meaning and not waste a single moment in vain.
