Look, no matter where you live, the biggest defect we human beings have is our shortsightedness. We don’t see what we could be.

A long time. Right on time. Out of time. Mind the time. Be on time. Spare time. Keep time. Stall for time.
There are as many expressions with "time" as there are minutes in a day.
