Time - Quotes
The air smells sweeter and time stands still any day you`re in the world and everyone else is working or in school.
Time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away
There is one thing stronger than all the armies in the world, and that is an idea whose time has come.
But thoughts, the slave of life, and life, time`s fool,
And time, that takes survey of all the world,
Must have a stop.
It`s not sad to feel that life and the love of your real friends and family is more than enough to make life worth living. Isn`t it much sadder to feel that there is a more important love required than the love of the people who have chosen to spend their limited time with you?
It`s the action, not the fruit of the action, that`s important. You have to do the right thing. It may not be in your power, may not be in your time, that there will be any fruit. But that doesn`t mean you stop doing the right thing. You may never know what results come from your action. But if you do nothing, there will be no results.
Just as one wouldn`t draw a lasting conclusion about oneself on the basis of a brief experience of indigestion, one needn`t do so on the basis of how one has thought or behaved for vast stretches of time in the past. A creative change of inputs to the system - learning new skills, forming new relationships, adopting new habits of attention - may radically transform one`s life.
Too many people spend too much time trying to perfect something before they actually do it. Instead of waiting for perfection, run with what you’ve got, and fix it as you go.
If you show somebody a piece of your work and you ask them ‘What do you think? ’, they will probably say it’s okay because they don’t want to offend you. Next time, instead of asking if it’s right, ask them what’s wrong. They may not say what you want to hear, but the chances are they will give you a truthful criticism. Truth hurts, but in the long run it’s better than a pat on the back.
Good art speaks for itself. That doesn’t mean you have to like it. So the next time you go to an art show, or look at anything for that matter, observe what effect it has on you and try to form your own opinion. That way you become the critic and not a mouthpiece for someone else’s opinions.
Most people spend the greatest part of their time working in order to live, and what little freedom remains so fills them with fear that they seek out any and every means to be rid of it.
Ideas are like seeds: they are abundant, and most of them never grow into anything. Also, ideas are seldom original. Ask several independent groups to brainstorm on the same topic at the same time, and you will likely get many of the same ideas. This is not a limitation of brainstorming; it is true of all creation. Because everything arises from steps, not leaps, most things are invented in several places simultaneously when different people walk the same path, each unaware of the others.
