1. Use time here, use it now, and use it well.
2. Change what you can. Endure what you must. Do what you ought. Achieve what you will.
3. You cannot fast-forward time, you cannot rewind it, and you cannot pause it; you can only waste or benefit from it.
4. Death is approaching, life is departing, but eternity is motionless.
5. If there was no such thing as change, we would suffer from monotony; and if there was no such thing as monotony, we would yearn for constancy.
6. Time flies, but does not land. Eternity does not have an airport and does not rest.
7. Life is short, death is long, days are narrow, and years are wide.
8. Learn from a river; obstacles may force it to change its course, but never its destination.
9. When time is scarce, use what you have. When time is plenty, remember, it will soon be scarce.
10. Time crawls when you are bored; walks when you are occupied; runs when you are busy; but flies when you are having fun.
11. The past only dies so the future can live.
12. Time is your acquaintance, life is your friend, death is your enemy, and existence is your soulmate.
13. Life is temporal. Time is fleeting. God is permanent. Eternity is enduring.
14. A coward may have the legs of a cheetah, but time has the legs of lightning.
15. Death is a great tyrant; none can overthrow him. Life is a priceless ruby; none can afford it. Eternity is a noble mistress; none can woo her.
The sun does not hurry, yet is always on time.
Stars do not hurry, yet are never late.
God may not hurry, but never delays.
