About Time

The evolutionary process has programmed us to reproduce, age, and die. That is all we are required to do. The rest is up to us.

What is a clock if not an instrument of torture, ticking away, slaying time, and stealing life. Killing time is injurious to eternity. Killing time is impossible. It is time that kills us.

The shortest hours are the ones between work and sleep. If we could make every moment in our lives count, that indeed would make a long life.

The richest person alive is the one who uses effectively the time most other people throw away. It takes quite a lot of courage for us to grow up and become who we really are.

Time, they say, is a great teacher. Yet, it kills all its students at some time or another.

You cannot live a long life when you treat it as if it will go on forever. The most important person not to fool is yourself. I am nobody but myself.
