“Time passes differently for different people”
William Shakespeare

Among the unknowns in the nature around us, the most unknown is time, because no one knows what time is and how to control it.

The fact that time either does not exist at all, or barely exists, being something unclear, can be assumed on the basis of the following. One part of it was and no longer exists, the other is in the future and does not yet exist; These parts make up both infinite time and the allocated period of time each time. And that which is made up of non-existent cannot, as it seems, be involved in existence.

There is something indivisible in time that we call “now”. In time nothing can be grasped other than the now. “Now” is a continuous connection of time, it connects the past time with the future and in general is the boundary of time, being the beginning of one and the end of the other. Since “now” is the end of the past and the beginning of the future, time always begins and ends. And it will never stop because it always begins.

Aristotle

Time itself is eternal in its concept, for it is not some definite time and also not the present, but time as time constitutes its concept. But the latter, like any concept in general, is itself eternal, and therefore also the absolute present. There won't be an eternity. There was no eternity, but there is eternity.

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

Why are your hours running out of time? - they ask me. But the point is not that they spread! The point is that my watch shows accurate time.

Salvador Dali

A person who dares to waste an hour of time has not yet realized the value of life.

Charles Darwin

In order to live a good life, there is no need to know where you came from and what will happen in the next world. Think only about what your soul, not your body, wants, and you will not need to know either where you came from or what will happen after death. There will be no need to know this because you will experience that complete good, for which there are no questions about the past or the future.

Lao Tzu Time moves so slowly that it seems as if it has stopped. All-consuming time. Everything can weaken time, but not my sadness. Time passes, and we silently grow old with the years. The days are running away, and we cannot hold them back. Moments always follow each other. Ovid Time is a mirage, it contracts in moments of happiness and stretches in hours of suffering. Richard Aldington

Time is like a skillful manager, constantly producing new talents to replace those that have disappeared.

Kozma Petrovich Prutkov

Time takes away everything; a long series of years can change one’s name, appearance, character, and destiny.

Nothing is more painful to a wise man and nothing gives him more anxiety than the necessity of spending more time on trifles and useless things than they deserve.

Time is a moving likeness of eternity.

Plato

In difficult times, naivety is the most precious treasure, it is a magic cloak that hides those dangers that a smart guy jumps straight into, as if hypnotized.

It's an eternity if you're truly unhappy.

Eternity is a time when ideals exist.

Youth thinks only about the present, but mature age neglects neither the present, nor the past, nor the future.

Fernando de Rojas

There are times when the government loses the confidence of the people, but I do not know of a time when they could trust it.

Antoine Rivarol

The bad consequences of crimes last longer than the crimes themselves.

Every task has its time.

Only time belongs to us.

Life is a duty if it is full. Let us measure it by actions, not by time.

Who can you tell me who would at least know how to value time?

Misfortune is a convenient time for virtue.

Stinginess is noble only in the use of time.

Seneca

There is no time, there is only a moment. And therefore, in this one moment you must put all your strength.

We cannot imagine life after death and cannot remember life before birth because we cannot imagine anything outside of time.

Each act is nothing in comparison with the infinity of space and time, and at the same time its action is infinite in space and time.

Was it really only then that I came into the world for this short period of time in order to lie, confuse, do stupid things and disappear?

Lev Nikolaevich Tolstoy

Art performs the work of memory: it selects the most vivid, exciting, significant from the stream of time and captures it in the crystals of books.

Alexey Nikolaevich Tolstoy

Life is a reddish spark in the dark and silent ocean of Eternity, this is the only moment that belongs to us.

Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev

You make a mistake when you say that you cannot move in Time. If, for example, I remember an event very vividly, then I return to the time it occurred and seem to be mentally absent. I take a moment to jump into the past. Of course, we cannot remain in the past for any particle of Time, any more than a savage or an animal can hang in the air at a distance of even six feet from the ground. In this respect the civilized man has an advantage over the savage. Despite the force of gravity, he can rise up in a balloon. Why can’t we hope that in the end he will also be able to stop or speed up his movement through Time or even turn in the opposite direction?

Herbert George Wells

If time is the most precious thing, then wasting time is the biggest waste.

Do you love life? Then don't waste time; for time is the fabric of which life is made.

If you want to have leisure, do not waste time.

Time is money.

Since you are not sure of even one minute, do not waste even one hour.

Quotes and Aphorisms 21.05.2018

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

Time is such an ordinary and everyday thing in our lives that we think little about what it even is. The scientific definition of time is very boring and tricky, so we will try to describe it with the help of accurate and succinct quotes and aphorisms about time.

What is time?

“Time is a moving image of motionless eternity. Anything that disrupts the unity of society is no good; all institutions that put a person in contradiction with himself are worth nothing.”

Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Everything in our life comes in its own time

Sometimes a person who is passionate about an idea rushes things, rushes, and often this ultimately only harms the cause. 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.

“For everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven. A time to be born and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted. A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to destroy and a time to build; a time to cry, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; a time to scatter stones, and a time to gather stones; a time to hug, and a time to avoid hugs; time to seek, and time to lose; a time to save, and a time to throw away; a time to rend, and a time to sew together; 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 its own 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 a joy for you. For many, life is too long because happiness is too short: they missed joy early, did not enjoy it enough, then they would like to return it, but they have gone far from it. They rush through life on postal trains, adding their own haste to the usual passage of time; one day they are ready to swallow something that they cannot digest in their entire life; they live their joys on credit, devour them for years to come, hurry and hurry - and squander everything. Even in knowledge you need to know the measure, not to gain knowledge that is not worth knowing. We have been given more days than blessed hours. Enjoy slowly, but act quickly. Actions completed - good; the joys are over - it’s bad.”

Baltasar Gracian y Morales

“To choose time is to save time, and what is done untimely is done in vain.”

“Time is the truest 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 with his loved one flies by completely unnoticed. On the other hand, it is no secret that over time, the feeling of intense love degenerates into a mature and calm relationship. Everyone is familiar with the expression that time is the killer of love. It is this dual connection that is spoken of in quotes and aphorisms about time and love.

“Don't ever leave me. - I will never leave you. - Never. Never - such a short time."

Erich Maria Remarque

“The closeness of the beloved shortens time.”

Johann Wolfgang Goethe

“You don’t watch happy hours.”

Alexander Griboyedov

“The happy count time in minutes, while for the unhappy it lasts for months.”

Fenimore Cooper

“In one hour of love there is a whole life.”

Honore de Balzac

"Time heals love's longing."

“Time strengthens friendship, but weakens love.”

Jean de La Bruyère

“But meanwhile, irrevocable time flies, flies, while we, captivated by love for the subject, linger on all the details.”

Publius Virgil

“Put some water into your palms... Do you see how it flows away?! This is how time flies away... And along with it, the chances of confessing something important and secret to someone important decrease..."

“Age does not protect you from love, but love protects you from age.”

Jeanne Moreau

"There is a time to work, and there is a time to love. There is no other time left."

Coco Chanel

“Love kills time, and time kills love.”

About time and life

Despite the fact that time is an intangible concept, it is the most valuable resource at the disposal of humanity. How a person spends his time largely determines what his life will be like. Quotes and aphorisms about time and life say this very wisely.

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

Sylvester

“A person who decides to waste even one hour of his time has not yet matured enough to understand the full value of life.”

Charles Darwin

“With every new minute a new life begins for us.”

Jerome Klapka Jerome

“Time never stands still, life is constantly evolving, human relationships change every fifty years.”

Johann Wolfgang Goethe

“It’s stupid to make plans for your whole life without even being a master of tomorrow.”

“The great science of living happily is to live only in the present.”

“Life gives you a lot to think about, but little time.”

Vladimir Semenov

“There is no time - life is so short - for squabbles, apologies, bile and calls to account. There is only time to love, and even for this, so to speak, there is only a moment.”

Mark Twain

“Life and time are two teachers. Life teaches us how to manage time correctly, time teaches us to value life.”

“You have things in life that you spend more time on.”

Does time heal...

There are many ambivalent aspects in statements about time. One of them is the age-old debate about whether time heals our wounds or not. I still like the idea that time itself is not capable of healing 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. This is very accurately and aptly stated in the quotes that time does not heal.

“And time doesn’t heal. It does not mend the wounds, it simply covers them on top with a gauze bandage of new impressions, new sensations, life experiences... And sometimes, clinging 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 new ones... So we crawl through life, like its wounded soldiers... And every year the number of poorly applied bandages on the soul grows and grows..."

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 part of us.”

“Time does not heal; time fills the memory with other events.”

“Time still doesn’t heal. Perhaps it treats us like it treats sick children - it tries to distract us, slips us new toys... And we push them away, demand an old worn-out teddy bear, turn to the wall and sniffle resentfully..."

“Time is the doctor of all inevitable evils.”

“Where the mind is powerless, time often helps.”

Seneca Lucius Anyaeus

“There are two medicines for every misfortune - time and silence.”

Alexandre Dumas, "The Count of Monte Cristo"

“What grief does not time take away? What passion will survive the unequal struggle with him?

Nikolay Gogol

“You feed your own misfortune by devoting time to it. Time is his blood."

Eckhart Tolle

How quickly time flies...

At different periods of our lives, time moves differently. 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 passes, that’s the problem. The past grows and the future shrinks. There are fewer and fewer chances to do anything - and more and more resentment for what I didn’t manage to do.”

Haruki Murakami

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

Paulo Coelho

“As a child, it seems that life just drags on, crawls. I wish I could grow up faster! In my youth, everything seems to be going well and it seems that it will be like this forever - I wish I could have stuck here longer, or better yet, forever. Others can only grow old, but I never! In middle age, sometimes you forget to monitor its speed - you don’t have time, you don’t have time, or you’re lazy. It goes slowly and okay. And then 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 quickly: seize the passing time. The past day is always better than the present day.”

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

Thomas Mann

“Time moves slowly when you follow it... It feels watched. 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

Great people about time

Of course, such a subtle and elusive matter as time could not be ignored by famous scientists, philosophers, writers, speakers, and politicians. Some compared time to material wealth, others believed that it was priceless, the great Einstein went further than anyone and completely turned all human knowledge about time upside down. The quotes and aphorisms of great people about time combine all their wisdom and vast life experience.

“Money is expensive, human life is even more expensive, and time is most precious.”

Alexander Suvorov

“Time is precious. Think carefully about what you are spending it on.”

Bernard Show

“Here is time in its nakedness, it happens slowly, you have to wait for it, and when it comes, you become sick, because you notice that it has been here for a long time.”

Jean-Paul Sartre

"Time is money".

Benjamin Franklin

“Time is like money: don’t waste it and you’ll have plenty of it.”

Gaston Levis

“A person can do much more and do much better. He makes only one mistake - he thinks that he has a lot of time at his disposal.”

Carlos Castaneda

"Time is a bad ally."

Winston Churchill

“Time is stretchable. It depends on what kind of content you fill it with.”

Samuel Marshak

“Keep count of every day, take into account every minute spent! Time is the only place where stinginess is commendable.”

Thomas Mann

“Nothing that is important is urgent. Everything that is urgent is just vanity.”

“Not a single minute of time can be bought with cash; If it were possible, the rich would live longer than others.”

“If we became faster than time, we could become slower than life.”

Stanislav Jerzy Lec

“The first hour that gave us life shortened it.”

Beautiful words about time

There are a huge number of different sayings about the transience and pricelessness of time: wise, meaningful, ironic, deep. I offer you a selection of my favorite beautiful quotes and aphorisms about time. It seems to me that it is impossible to express myself more precisely and clearly.

“The problem is that you think you have time.”

“The clock is striking. Everyone."

Stanislav Jerzy Lec

“Time is the way the Universe tests our desires for truth. This is probably why we almost never get everything at once.”

Elchin Safarli

“There is nothing longer than time, since it is the measure of eternity; there is nothing shorter than it, since it is missing for all our endeavors... All people neglect it, everyone regrets its loss.”

“Time lost in pleasure is not considered lost.”

John Lennon

“What moments were the most important in your life, you find out when it’s too late.”

Agatha Christie

“Time is the fabric of which life is made.”

Benjamin Franklin

“There will come a time when you decide it's over. This will be the beginning."

Louis Lamour

“Time, faced with memory, learns of its lack of rights.”

Joseph Brodsky

“To find out the price of a year, ask a student who failed an exam.
To find out the price of a month, ask a mother who gave birth prematurely.
To find out the price of the week, ask the editor of the weekly magazine.
To find out the price of an hour, ask a lover waiting for his beloved.
To find out the price of a minute, ask someone who is late for the train.
To find out the value of a second, ask someone who has lost a loved one in a car accident.
To find out the value of one thousandth of a second, ask an Olympic silver medalist.
The clock hands 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

Yes, unfortunately, time is inexorable. It is impossible to stop him, it is impossible to ask him to slow down. And sooner or later the 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 entirely within our power to fill our existence with meaning and not waste a single moment.

Quotes from Osho about the meaning of life

Every present has its own future, which illuminates it and which disappears with it, becoming the past-future
Sartre J.-P.
In order to live a good life, there is no need to know where you came from and what will happen in the next world. Think only about what your soul, not your body, wants, and you will not need to know either where you came from or what will happen after death. There will be no need to know this because you will experience that complete good, for which there are no questions about the past or the future.
Lao Tzu
If you want change in the future, be that change in the present.
Gandhi Mahatma

Each act is nothing in comparison with the infinity of space and time, and at the same time its action is infinite in space and time
Tolstoy L. N.

The purpose of life is life!? If you look deeply into life, of course, the highest good is existence itself. There is nothing more stupid than to neglect the present in favor of the future. The present is the real sphere of existence...
Herzen A.I.

Time is like a child led by the hand: it looks back...
Cortazar H.

Anyone who cannot attach himself to any end point, to any point in time in the future, to any stop, is in danger of falling internally.
Frankl V.

If the finiteness factor of life deprived it of meaning, it would not matter when the end would come, whether in the foreseeable future or very, very soon. We would have to admit that the time when everything will end is not significant
Frankl V.

There is no atonement, no remission of sins; sin has no price. It cannot be bought back until time itself has been bought back.
Fowles J.

I never think about the future. It comes quite quickly
Einstein A.

We don't know what to do with our short life, but we still want to live forever
France A.

It's stupid to make plans for your whole life without even being a master of tomorrow.
Seneca

The great science of living happily is to live only in the present

Life is a very short time between two eternities.
Carlyle T.

Your past lies in your silence, your present lies in your speech, and your future lies in your missteps.
Pavic M.

There is an hour for everything and a time for every task under heaven; There is a time to be born and a time to die; There is a time to plant and a time to pluck out what is planted; A time to kill and a time to heal; A time to destroy and a time to build; A time to cry and a time to laugh; A time to groan and a time to dance; A time to scatter and a time to gather stones; A time to hug and a time to avoid hugs; Time to seek and time to lose; Time to store and time to spend; A time to tear and a time to sew; 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

Time passes, that's the problem. The past grows and the future shrinks. There are fewer and fewer chances to do something - and more and more resentment for what you didn’t manage to do
Haruki Murakami

Here is the time in its nakedness, it comes slowly, you have to wait for it, and when it comes, you feel sick because you notice that it has been here for a long time
Sartre J.-P.

In fact, no time exists, there is no “tomorrow”, there is only the eternal “now”
Akunin B.

After all, Time, wherever you look, weaves all things and events into one continuous fabric, don’t you think? We are accustomed to shredding this fabric, adjusting individual pieces to our personal dimensions - and therefore we often see Time only as scattered shreds of our own illusions; in fact, the connection of things in the fabric of Time is truly continuous
Haruki Murakami

I think that a good half of all human actions have as their goal the realization of the unrealizable. I think that most of our smallest disappointments are explained by the fact that something unrealizable seems to us in the future, and then, some time later, already in the past - realizable, and then we feel that we have not realized it
Sartre J.-P.

We don't have time to become ourselves. It is only enough to be happy.

Time is gold, but no amount of gold is enough for you to buy time.

Time flow. I. Kant was the first to suggest: the more impressions a person receives over a period of time, the longer it subsequently seems to him.

The passage of time is real natural and social processes that are truly amenable to change. Thus, it is quite possible to increase the speed of mechanical movement or labor productivity. In the above and similar cases, time proportions change, the relationships in which the real time durations of real things and phenomena are found.

There is no single flow of time obligatory for all living and nonliving things.

“...time is absolute, autonomous and independent of the material world; it appears as a homogeneous and unchanging flow from the past through the present to the future.”

Life and time are two teachers. Life teaches us how to manage time correctly, time teaches us to value life.

Today there is no time for health - tomorrow there is no time because of health.

Absolute time is that which is observed. Absolute time is determined by clocks, the rotation of celestial bodies and other natural or artificial chronometers.
Subjective time is the apparent time experienced by a person. In the same person it occurs at different speeds. It goes either quickly or slowly - depending on the surrounding impressions, state of mind or composition of thoughts. It depends on the nature of brain activity. It happens faster in sleep.
