“Time is free, but it's priceless. You can't
own it, but you can use it. You can't keep
it, but you can spend it. Once you've lost it
you can never get it back.”
~Harvey MacKay

"Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that the stuff life is made of."
~Ben Franklin |
"The future is something which everyone reaches at the rate of sixty minutes an hour, whatever he does, whoever he is."
~C.S. Lewis |
"Time is a companion that goes with us on a journey. It reminds us to cherish each moment, because it will never come again. What we leave behind is not as important as how we have lived."
~Jean-Luc Picard
