"The time you feel lonely is the time you most need to be by yourself."

"Time is nature's way of keeping everything from happening at once."

"But Time, unfortunately, though it makes animals and vegetables bloom and fade with amazing punctuality, has no such simple effect upon the mind of man.

"Time is the sole photographer of all the times, from the Big Bang till the possible Big Crunch!"

"The mind of man, moreover, works with equal strangeness upon the body of time. An hour, once it lodges in the queer element of the human spirit, may be stretched to fifty or a hundred times its clock length; on the other hand, an hour may be accurately represented on the timepiece of the mind by one second."

"This time will never come again in your life. Enjoy every moment, right now, before the time is gone."

But now, when all purpose was gone, that habit of looking towards the money and grasping it with a sense of fulfilled effort made a loam that was deep enough for the seeds of desire."

"Selfish- a judgment readily passed by those who have never tested their own power of sacrifice."

"My life is too short, and God's work is too great for me to think of making a home for myself in this world."
