Time has long preoccupied many thinkers, sages, and politicians, even those who didn\u2019t focus on it exclusively. <\/span><\/p>\n

They gave it considerable attention\u2014Leo Tolstoy, for example. Here are 20 quotes about time that may help you <\/span><\/p>\n

manage your time better and perhaps change your life dramatically.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTime is the one thing we all share, but it\u2019s also the one thing we all use differently.\u201d \u2014 Catherine Pulsifer.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Time is given equally to everyone: we all have 24 hours in a day. What sets us apart is the way <\/span><\/p>\n

We use these 24 hours.<\/span><\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThe two most powerful warriors are patience and time.\u201d \u2014 Leo Tolstoy, *War and Peace*.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

If you know when to advance and when to hold back, you have traveled half the road to success. Every successful action takes place at the right time. When you decide to <\/span><\/p>\n

accomplish something great, you cannot do it outside of time. So you must choose the right moment and persevere through the effort until you are able to<\/span><\/p>\n

\u0645\u0646 \u0627\u0644\u0625\u0646\u062c\u0627\u0632.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cTime is money.\u201d \u2014 Benjamin Franklin<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Franklin is referring to a well-known economic concept: opportunity cost. Every choice you make has a cost, and wasting time has its own <\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cTime waits for no one.\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cLost time is never found again.\u201d \u2014 Benjamin Franklin<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

That\u2019s roughly the meaning of the quote above. But the point here isn\u2019t to lament or regret what\u2019s past\u2014that is, the time you\u2019ve wasted\u2014but rather to <\/span><\/p>\n

Wisdom lies in making the most of what lies ahead and making up for what has been lost. If you made a mistake in the past and can still set things right, do so <\/span><\/p>\n

now, before things get worse.<\/span><\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cTime is the most valuable thing a person can spend.\u201d \u2014 Theophrastus<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Your most valuable asset is your time\u2014it is your life. Think carefully about how you spend it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pericles\u2019 famous words were spoken as a warning to Tolmides, the young Athenian general who planned to invade Boeotia and ultimately failed <\/span><\/p>\n

made too quickly and poor judgment caused by failing to take the time to think things through.<\/span><\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThe key is in not spending time, but in investing it.\u201d \u2014 Stephen R. Covey.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

You can spend time on things that are useful or unproductive, but if you call it an \u201cinvestment,\u201d you\u2019ll certainly invest it <\/span><\/p>\n

in something that has value and meaning to you.<\/span><\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cPunctuality is the thief of time.\u201d \u2014 Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Don\u2019t assume Oscar Wilde is joking when he says this; he\u2019s actually pointing to a real problem. That\u2019s why we included his quote here. <\/span><\/p>\n

Among 20 quotes about time: when you put effort into making someone else more comfortable (such as hurrying because someone is waiting for you), you\u2019re giving up <\/span><\/p>\n

Time is bound to be spent; the question is how you spend or invest it. Since no one can hold on to time, <\/span><\/p>\n
