Quotes to mark the time...
| And indeed it is old age,
rather than death, that is to be contrasted with life. Old age is
life's parody, whereas death transforms life into a destiny. In a
way, death preserves life by giving it absolute dimension - "As unto
himself eternity changes him at last." Death does away with
time.
Simone de Beauvoir, 1970 |
| The greatest friend of Truth
is Time, her greatest enemy is Prejudice, and her constant companion is
Humility.
Charles Colton, 1829 |
| Dost thou love Life?
Then do not squander Time; for that's the stuff Life is made
of.
Ben Franklin, 1738 |
The world rolls on,
Time presses.
Ten thousand years are too long,
Seize the day, Seize the hour!
Mao Zedong, 1971 |
When once our heav'nly-guided
soul shall climb,
Then all this Earthly grossness quit,
Attir'd with Stars, we shall for ever sit,
Triumphing over Death, and Chance, and thee
O Time.
John Milton, 1637
