Once upon a time Plato said: “Time takes away everything” - and although this expression is more than one hundred years old, it still remains relevant. But not only Plato liked to philosophize about the course of being and the transience of life. Many famous writers and great thinkers have similar sayings. So many lines have been written on the topic "Time" that it is simply impossible to re-read them all.

Therefore, let's plunge into the world of literature and draw a little wisdom from there. Consider the most vivid and beautiful statements of the greats about time and its course - about the eternal succession of life and death. And who knows, perhaps this knowledge will be able to radically change someone's worldview.

The transience of everything

I want to start with the fact that many statements about time show us how fast everything in the world is. It would seem that only yesterday we were little kids and ran around the parent's yard, but today we are already watching our own grandchildren grow up. And this order of things applies to everything that surrounds us.

That is why many sayings about time remind us that everything in this world has its end.

1. "Minutes, like fast horses, fly without looking ahead. You look around - the sunset is so close that you can't turn it back" (Al-Maarri).
2. "Life will fly by like a crazy wind, and nothing will hold it back"
3. "Alas, you cannot return your youth, become again the same unrestrained impudent and beautiful. Even a young walk cannot be turned back" (Yu. Bondarev).
4. "The closer the old age, the faster the hand of the clock strides."
5. "In this life, only the tide and time wait for no one" (W. Scott).

Learn to value your time

However, realizing the transience of time is only half the battle. After that, you need to learn how to take care of it, cherish every second lived. After all, time is the most expensive currency in the world. But unlike real bills, it cannot be borrowed or stolen from another person.

Therefore, many tirelessly remind us of how important it is to appreciate every second of your life:

1. “Reasonable use of time makes it even more precious” (J. J. Rousseau).
2. "Learning to enjoy the past means learning to live doubly" (Martial).
3. "The one who dares to waste an hour of his time simply does not know how to live" (Charles Darwin).
4. "Time waits for no one, and even less forgives a single lost moment" (N. Garin-Mikhailovsky).
5. "One today is much more expensive than two tomorrow" (B. Franklin).

How to spend your life right

Well, for those who have realized everything, there is only one thing left - to learn how to spend it wisely. After all, there are thousands of different possibilities and chances that should be tried and tested. This is the only way to feel the true taste of life, so as not to regret anything later. And here are the most vivid expressions about time, proving this truth:

1. "Every new day is a disciple of yesterday"
2. “Life ceases to be short for those who have learned to use it wisely” (Seneca Jr.).
3. "Only a few are able to see the world in all its details. Most of them involuntarily limit themselves to one of its versions or several areas; but the less a person knows about the present and the past, the more fragile his hopes for a bright future become" (Sigmund Freud).

Quotes about time: the amazing world of watches

In conclusion, we will give a few more sayings about the passage of time, left to us by the great minds of the past. And let the depth of their wisdom be a real boon for the inquisitive minds of our time.

1. “People with a sour expression on their faces miss thousands of hours, forgetting to enjoy them. And then, with the advent of old age, they remember them with sadness” (A. Schopenhauer).
2. "A mediocre person thinks about how to kill time. A talented person seeks to use it correctly" (A. Schopenhauer).
3. "Only time can heal all wounds" (Menander).
4. "Life seems long if it is filled with something important. Therefore, let's measure it by actions, and not by the past hours" (Seneca).
5. "If time is the most precious thing, then wasting it is the biggest crime."

Each age has its own advantages, and youth with the strength hidden in it has especially many of them. Those who care about the future are most concerned with the younger generation.

We are never limited to the present. We wish the future to come as soon as possible, we regret that it is advancing so slowly towards us; or we remember the past, we want to keep it, but it quickly runs away from us. We are so unreasonable that we wander in times that do not belong to us, not thinking about that which is given to us. We vainly dwell in thought in times that no longer exist, and without thinking we miss the present.

Do not grieve about the future and the past,
Know the price of today's happiness!

A person's age is expressed not by the number recorded in the passport, but by the youth of the heart, by how hot it beats in a person's chest. Old age begins from the moment when a person loses touch with the younger generation, when he prevents the young from going forward. N. Hikmet

The young man throws away the illusions of childhood, the husband throws away ignorance and violent passions of youth and then throws away the husband's egoism and becomes more and more a universal soul. He rises to a higher and more real level of life.
R. Emerson

Indeed, what is the difference between an old man and a child, except that the first is furrowed with wrinkles and has more days from birth? The same white hair, toothless mouth, short stature, addiction to milk, tongue-tied, talkativeness, stupidity, forgetfulness, recklessness. In short, they are all alike. The older people get, the closer they are to children, and finally, like real babies, without aversion to life, unaware of death, they leave the world.

Delay is a thief of time.

A. Dode

There is something that has a special magic not to depend on us! What is it? Time! And no matter how we want, no matter how we strive, no matter how much effort we make, time is not interested either in us, or in our opinion, or in what days and years are doing to us! This is an indicator of the highest power that exists in this world. It is this concept that rules everything and always, and even our life is subject to it! And that is why there are the most poignant statements about him, they have always spoken about him with special admiration and respect. Here, too, you will find quotes about time. We will show the phrases of great people about time, what they thought and how they treated it.

We would like to tell you about those words and sayings that can characterize time:

• Einstein expressed his opinion on such a constantly fickle concept;
• What are the opinions about time and love;
• The saying that time flies unnoticed by a person.

Quotes of the great

If Einstein knew what he was talking about, then how can this “fantasy” influence us so inexorably that people, unwillingly, begin to plan their short days and lives, scheduling minutes, hours and years? But there are other characteristics, other aphorisms about time. Not only Einstein, but philosophers from different times and cultures expressed their opinions. What these extraordinary personalities thought, and how they will help us expand this concept, will become clear from the words they said about time with meaning.

There is a time to workand there is a time to love. There is no other time left.
(Coco Chanel)

Beautiful and meaningful

Someone imparts healing properties to this concept, saying that time heals. The author understands exactly how important it is to be patient at times while waiting for changes. Like a pill taken, the period passed should affect the well-being and circumstances of people if unhappiness falls on them. The same principles are guided by people who expect something good from life, but do not have what they want for a long time.

The time will come,when you decide it's over. This will be the beginning.
(Louis Lamour)

And whatever happens to us TOMORROW...
we have TODAY and NOW in stock!

To find out the price of a month, ask a mother who gave birth prematurely.

For the price of a week, ask the editor of the weekly.

To find out the price of an hour, ask a lover who is waiting for his beloved.

To find out the price of a minute, ask the person who missed the train.

To find out the price of a second, ask someone who lost a loved one in a car accident.

For the price of one thousandth of a second, ask the Olympic silver medalist.

The hands of the clock will not stop running. Therefore, cherish every moment of your life. And appreciate today as the greatest gift that has been given to you.
(Bernard Werber. Empire of Angels)

Is it possible to find the day, hour, year? Nobody heard about this. But there are cases of wasted time, when it was wasted by those who did not value it. It is no coincidence that in the modern world there is a really operating organization that has put minutes above money. And in it you can get services on certain conditions. And the time spent with benefit is its good use, which characterizes it with dignity.

About the transience of life

There are many such expressions, since each of us wants to give an assessment of the past period and the outlined plans for the future. Any such quote only asserts in the thought that life is fleeting, and there are not always a few of these plans and ideas. But understanding of this does not always come on time. That is why the experience of those who came to such an idea and shared it is invaluable.

Between success and failure lies the abyss, the name of which is "I have no time."
(Franklin Field)

Life is always happening Now.Make yourself comfortable in the present moment ...

Quotes and Aphorisms 21.05.2018

Dear readers, let's talk with you today about such an elusive and incomprehensible thing as time. It cannot be touched, it is immaterial, however, sometimes we just physically feel how it leaves. Everything in this world has a price. And only time is priceless. It is impossible to stop him, it is impossible, unfortunately, even to slow down his run. And you can spend your time in different ways. But it is entirely within our power to make our spent time filled with meaning.

Time is such a common and everyday thing in our life that we hardly think about what it is in general. The scientific definition of time is very boring and tricky, so we will try to describe it using precise and succinct quotes and aphorisms about time.

What is time?

“Time is a moving image of motionless eternity. Anything that violates the unity of society is worthless; all institutions that put a person in conflict with himself are worthless. "

Jean-Jacques Rousseau

"The wisest thing is time, for it reveals everything."

“Time is such a vague thing. One seems very long. To the other - the opposite. "

Agatha Christie

"Time is the mother and nurse of all the best."

"Time is the doctor of all inevitable evils."

"Time is a precious gift given to us to become smarter, better, more mature and more perfect in it."

Thomas Mann

"Time is an endless movement, without a single moment of rest - and it cannot be thought otherwise."

Lev Tolstoy

“What is time? If no one asks me about this, I know what time is; if I wanted to explain to the questioner - no, I don't know. "

Aurelius Augustine the Blessed

“Time is just the sequence of our thoughts. Our soul is capable of self-immersion, it itself can make up its own society. "

Nikolay Karamzin

“I know very well what time is, until I think about it. But if you think about it - and now I don't know what time is! "

Augustine Aurelius

"Time is the most precious of all treasures."

Theophrastus

Everything in our life comes in due time

Sometimes a person, carried away by any idea, rushes things, is in a hurry, and often this ultimately only harms the business. Quotes and aphorisms about time very accurately reflect the idea that everything has its time. Sometimes you need to take your time, collect your thoughts, and sometimes you need to be able to wait.

“There is a time for everything, and a time for every thing under the sky. Time to be born and time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck out what is planted. Time to kill and time to heal; a time to destroy and a time to build; a time to cry and a time to laugh; a time to lament and a time to dance; a time to scatter stones, and a time to collect stones; a time to embrace, and a time to avoid embracing; time to seek, and time to waste; time to save, and time to throw; a time to tear, and a time to stitch; a time to be silent and a time to speak; a time to love and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace. "

Ecclesiastes

“Everything in our life comes in due time. You just have to learn to wait! "

Honore de Balzac

“Don't rush to live. There is a time for everything - and everything will be your joy. For many, life is too long because happiness is too short: they missed joys early, did not enjoy them enough, then they would like to return them, but they have gone far from them. Throughout life, they rush on postage, add their haste to the usual running of time; in one day they are ready to swallow something that they will not digest in their entire life; they live the joys in debt, devour for years ahead, hurry and hurry - and squander everything. Even in knowledge it is necessary to know the measure, not to gain the knowledge that is not worth knowing. More days are given to us than blessed hours. Enjoy slowly, but take action. The deeds are over - good; the joy is over - it's bad. "

Baltasar Gracian y Morales

"To choose the time means to save time, and what was done out of time is done in vain."

Francis Bacon

"There is time for everything: your hour for conversation, your hour for rest."

"Every comedy, like any song, has its own time and its own time."

Miguel de Cervantes

"Even if you are very talented and put in a lot of effort, some results just take time: you won't have a baby in a month, even if you force nine women to become pregnant."

Warren Buffett

Time with deep meaning

Time is an elusive and strange substance that governs our entire life. That is why so many facets of this concept are reflected in quotes and aphorisms about time with meaning. Sometimes the meaning of these statements does not lie on the surface, which will make us think about a lot.

"Time is motionless, like a coast: it seems to us that it is running, but, on the contrary, we are passing."

Pierre Bouast

“Time flies - that's bad news. The good news is you are a pilot of your time. "

Michael Altshuler

"- What do you want? - I want to kill time. "Time really doesn't like being killed."

“Time is the only thing that cannot be accumulated, it does not save and does not increase. It can only be exchanged for money or knowledge. Time is generally the most important thing. "

Yamaguchi Tadao

"No time. Seriously? There is no desire, but there is always time. "

Sergey Yesenin

"Time is an honest man."

Pierre Beaumarchais

“Don't say you don't have time. You have exactly the same amount in your belt as Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, Pasteur, Helen Keller, Albert Einstein had.

Jackson Brown

"Alas, not time passes, we are passing."

Pierre de Ronsard

"Time is the most faithful ally of perseverance."

About time and love ...

Time and love have a strange and paradoxical relationship. On the one hand, when a person is in love, his time next to a loved one flies by completely unnoticed. On the other hand, it is no secret that over time, the feeling of acute love is reborn into a mature and calm relationship. After all, everyone knows the expression that time is the killer of love. It is about this dual connection that is said in quotes and aphorisms about time and love.

About time and life

Despite the fact that time is an intangible concept, it is the most valuable resource at the disposal of mankind. How a person spends their time largely determines what their life will be like. In quotes and aphorisms about time and life, it is very wisely said about this.

“Time plays an important role in a person’s life; during his life, a person plays different roles and must be used wisely”.

Does time heal ...

There are many ambiguous points in statements about time. One of them is the age-old debate about whether or not time heals our wounds. I am still close to the idea that time alone is not able to heal any of our traumas until we ourselves let them go. And then our brain will push bad memories to the farthest shelf of memory, and over time we will come across them less and less often. It is very accurately and aptly said about this in the quotes that time does not heal.

“And time does not heal. It does not mend the wounds, it just closes them on top with a gauze bandage of new impressions, new sensations, life experience ... And sometimes, catching on to something, this bandage flies off, and fresh air enters the wound, giving it new pain ... and new life ... Time is a bad doctor ... It makes you forget about the pain of old wounds, inflicting more and more ... So we crawl through life, like its wounded soldiers ... And every year the number of badly applied bandages grows and grows in my soul ... "

Erich Maria Remarque

"Time does not heal! Time will judge, time will show: who is the enemy, where are the friends ... Only time will be dispassionate and sincere "

"Time does not heal. We just get used to this pain, learn to live with it, and it becomes a part of us. "

"Time does not heal, time fills the memory with other events."

“Time still does not heal. Perhaps it treats us like sick children - tries to distract, slip new toys ... And we push them away, demand an old worn teddy bear, turn away to the wall and sniff offended ... "

"Time is the doctor of all inevitable evils."

"Where the mind is powerless, time often helps."

Seneca Lucius Anae

"There are two remedies for any misfortune - time and silence."

Alexandre Dumas, "The Count of Monte Cristo"

“What grief does time not carry away? What passion will survive in an unequal struggle with him? "

“You yourself feed your misfortune by giving it time. Time is his blood. "

How fast is the running of time ...

In different periods of our life, time moves in different ways. The waiting time for a holiday is always longer than the holiday itself. What can we say about the main indicator of human time - age. Therefore, it is so important to be able to appreciate every moment and hour of our life. Quotes and aphorisms about how quickly and inexorably time flies so accurately hit the target and sink into the soul.

"A child's hour is longer than an old man's day."

Arthur Schopenhauer

“Time is passing, that's the trouble. The past is growing and the future is shrinking. There are less and less chances to do something - and more and more offensive for what I did not have time to.

Haruki Murakami

“Use every moment so that you don't regret later and don't regret that you missed your youth.”

Paulo Coelho

“In childhood, it seems that life is just going by, crawling. I wish I could grow faster! In my youth - it seems to be going well and it seems that it will be like this forever - it would be better to be stuck here a little longer, or better forever. Others can only grow old, but I never! In middle age, sometimes you forget to monitor its speed - not before, once or too lazy. It goes slowly and well. And now the time comes when you understand that life did not crawl, did not walk and did not stand, but flew, and always ”.

Galina Bobyleva

“Youth flies fast: catch the passing time. The day that has passed is always better than the present day. "

“Take your time! Guard him any hour, any minute. Without supervision, it will slip away like a lizard. Illuminate every moment with an honest, worthy accomplishment! Give him weight, meaning, light. "

Thomas Mann

“Time passes slowly when you follow it ... It feels being followed. But it takes advantage of our absent-mindedness. It is even possible that there are two times: the one we follow and the one that transforms us. "

Albert Camus

Yes, unfortunately, time is inexorable. You cannot stop him, you cannot ask him to slow down. And sooner or later a moment comes when a person himself realizes the full value of time. The main thing is that it is on time. After all, it is fully within our power to fill our existence with meaning and not waste a single moment in vain.
