Aaack! It's Begun!

Rate this Entry


Well, we are now into day 2 of 2007 and the race has already begun! Aaaaack! Why do we do it? Why do we surrender to the rush madness that seems to perpetrate the gates of every sizable city in America? Dare I say this need to zoom through life might have become "The American way." I think Rolling Stones Mick Jaggar was somewhat deluded when he convincingly sang, "Time is on our side..." Certainly if not deluded, a symbol of archaic thinking that has blown out with the wind.

At any rate, I am in full speed mode to finish some writing before another semester begins, and I can feel the crunch of time breathing down my neck. The temptation to sweat is ever-increasing, or simply run to the nearest Star Buck's for a latte fix. (Star Buck's may win out...)

I came across more great quotes about time, and since I am under a time crunch, I thought this would be the perfect, "time," to share them here!

Enjoy!


MORE QUOTES ON TIME:

There are many fine things which you mean to do
some day, under what you think will be more
favorable circumstances. But the only time that
is yours is the present.

- Grenville Kleiser



Time only seems to matter when it's running out.


--Peter Strup


Now is the only time there is. Make your now wow,
your minutes miracles, and your days pay. Your
life will have been magnificently lived and
invested, and when you die you will have made a
difference.

- Mark Victor Hansen


We must use time as a tool, not as a crutch.

Time is a fixed income and, as with any income,
the real problem facing most of us is how to live
successfully within our daily allotment.

Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin
you have, and only you can determine how it will
be spent. Be careful lest you let other people
spend it for you.

- Carl Sandburg





You will never find time for anything. If you want
time you must make it.

- Charles Buxton


There are some things which cannot be learned
quickly, and time, which is all we have, must be
paid heavily for their acquiring. They are the
very simplest things, and because it takes a man's
life to know them the little new that each man
gets from life is very costly and the only
heritage he has to leave.

- Ernest Hemingway
(1899-1961)


Do not wait; the time will never be ''just
right.'' Start where you stand, and work with
whatever tools you may have at your command, and
better tools will be found as you go along.

- Napoleon Hill


You have to allow a certain amount of time in
which you are doing nothing in order to have
things occur to you, to let your mind think.

- Mortimer Adler


Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for
those who fear,too long for those who grieve, too
short for those who rejoice,but for those who love
time is eternity.

- Henry Van Dyke


Minutes are worth more than money. Spend them
wisely.

- Thomas P. Murphy


I have noticed that the people who are late are
often so much jollier than the people who have to
wait for them

- E.V. Lucas


Someone once told me that time is a predator that
stalked us all our lives. But I rather believe
that time is a companion who goes with us on the
journey that reminds us to cherish every moment
because they'll never come again. What we leave
behind is not as important as how we live it.
After all, Number One, we're only mortal.

- Captain Jean Luc Picard

Star Trek Generations Paramount Pictures, 1994

    I was going to say, the song is Time is on My Side, but I see in the quotes you got it right. Also the Stones have another great song on the subject:

    TIME WAITS FOR NO ONE
    (M. Jagger/K. Richards)

    Yes, star crossed in pleasure the stream flows on by
    Yes, as we're sated in leisure, we watch it fly

    And time waits for no one, and it won't wait for me
    And time waits for no one, and it won't wait for me

    Time can tear down a building or destroy a woman's face
    Hours are like diamonds, don't let them waste

    Time waits for no one, no favours has he
    Time waits for no one, and he won't wait for me

    Men, they build towers to their passing yes, to their fame everlasting
    Here he comes chopping and reaping, hear him laugh at their cheating

    And time waits for no man, and it won't wait for me
    Yes, time waits for no one, and it won't wait for me

    Drink in your summer, gather your corn
    The dreams of the night time will vanish by dawn

    And time waits for no one, and it won't wait for me
    And time waits for no one, and it won't wait for me

    No no no, not for me....
