Each year one vicious habit rooted out, in time might make the worst man good throughout.
Leisure is time for doing something useful; this leisure the diligent man will obtain, but the lazy man never
You may delay, but time will not, and lost time is never found again.
Do not squander time for that is the stuff life is made of.
Leisure is the time for doing something useful.
Do you love life? Then don't waste time, because time is life!
If we lose our Money, it gives us some Concern. If we are cheated or robb'd of it, we are angry: But Money lost may be found; what we are robb'd of may be restored: The Treasure of Time once lost, can never be recovered; yet we squander it as tho' 'twere nothing worth, or we had no Use for it....
One today is worth two tomorrows. Lost time is never found again. Time is money. Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that's the stuff that life is made of. You may delay, but time will not.
Work while it is called today, for you know not how much you may be hindered tomorrow. One today is worth two tomorrows; never leave that till tomorrow which you can do today.
Waste neither time nor money, but make the best use of both.
Time is money'... Waste it now. Pay for it later!
Tomorrow, every Fault is to be amended; but that Tomorrow never comes.
There never was a truly great man that was not at the same time truly virtuous.
He that rises late must trot all day.
