"Perfection is attained by slow degrees; it requires the hand of time."

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

"Great minds are related to the brief span of time during which they live as great buildings are to a little square in which they stand: you cannot see them in all their magnitude because you are standing too close to them."

"There is one kind of robber whom the law does not strike at, and who steals what is most precious to men: time."
