"The mind of man, moreover, works with equal strangeness upon the body of time.

Time has a necessary affinity with both heaven and the earthly reality. 'Pythagoras, when he was asked what time was, answered that it is the soul of the world.' Plato said that time and heaven must be coexistent. Without time nothing can be created or generated in the universe, nor is anything intelligible without eternity. Time is no accident or affection, but the cause, power, and principle of the symmetry and order that confines all created beings, by which the animated nature of the universe moves."
"A conservative believes nothing should be done for the first time."
"If you want to know the value of a minute ask the person who came to the train station or airport a minute late."
