Famous quotes containing the word time:

    God will take care of you for me. I am my God’s. I belong to him, I go a short time before you, and I want to meet all in heaven, both white and black.
    Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)

    It takes a long time to bring the past up to the present.
    Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)

    I waited alone, in the company of orchids, roses and violets who—like people waiting beside you, but to whom you are unknown—maintained a silence which their individuality of living things rendered more imposing and in their chilly manner received the heat from an incandescent coal fire, preciously placed behind a crystal glass, in a white marble tub where it dropped, from time to time, its dangerous rubies.
    Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
