It is not the part of men, but of fanatics, or of mathematicians, if you will, to say, that, the shortness of life considered, it is not worth caring whether for so short a duration we were sprawling in want, or sitting high. Since our office is with moments, let us husband them.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“Time is a very bankrupt and owes more than hes worth to
season.
Nay, hes a thief too: have you not heard men say,
That Time comes stealing on by night and day?”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
