I object to being told that I am saving daylight when my reason tells me that I am doing nothing of the kind... At the back of the Daylight Saving scheme, I detect the bony, blue-fingered hand of Puritanism, eager to push people into bed earlier, and get them up earlier, to make them healthy, wealthy, and wise in spite of themselves.

The timeless in you is aware of life's timelessness. And knows that yesterday is but today's memory and tomorrow is today's dream.
Kahlil GibranTag: time today tomorrow timelessness yesterday
The past is a ghost, the future a dream and all we ever have is now.
Bill CosbyTag: past future present time dream ghost
There is no present or future-only the past, happening over and over again-now.
Eugene O'NeillTime was such an odd thing. One moment you could talk to someone, then suddenly, they were gone.
Patricia BriggsTag: time
The wisest are the most annoyed at the loss of time.
Dante AlighieriTag: wisdom time aging impatience
Time can be a greedy thing-sometimes it steals the details for itself.
Khaled HosseiniTag: time
Happy the man, and happy he alone,
he who can call today his own:
he who, secure within, can say,
Tomorrow do thy worst, for I have lived today.
Be fair or foul, or rain or shine
the joys I have possessed, in spite of fate, are mine.
Not Heaven itself, upon the past has power,
but what has been, has been, and I have had my hour.
On the whole I try to keep Modesty and Willie in timeless settings, which is why I avoid all the latest slang and in-words. It won't be long before 'brill' sounds as dated as 'super' does now. [Uncle Happy, 1990]
Peter O'DonnellTag: time language slang setting pop-culture chronology
I spur my horse past the ruined city;
the ruined city, that wakes the traveler's thoughts:
ancient battlements, high and low;
old grave mounds, great and small.
Where the shadow of a single tumbleweed trembles
and the voice of the great trees clings forever,
I sigh over all these common bones --
No roll of the immortals bears their names.
