It seizes on spare moments, and turns large fragments of leisure to golden account. A man who follows his calling with industry and spirit, and uses his earnings economically, will always have some portion of the day at command; and it is astonishing how fruitful of improvement a short season becomes, when eagerly seized and faithfully used.

Is old and gray and dirty;
Twenty-nine she was last night;
This morning she is thirty.
Silly girl, silver girl,
Draw the mirror toward you;
Time who makes the years to whirl
Adorned as he adored you.
Time is timelessness for you;
Calendars for the human;

Loveliness made woman?
Oh, Night will not see thirty again,
Yet soft her wing, Miranda;
Pick up your glass and tell me, then —
How old is Spring, Miranda?</pre><div class=source><div class=author title=Author><a href="https://littleliberry.org/autonomy/a/extra/quotes/tag/time/author/Ogden Nash/">Ogden Nash</a></div></div></blockquote>#1058Francis Baconhttps://littleliberry.org/autonomy/a/extra/1058/2013-02-11T04:09:19+01:00<blockquote>Truth is the daughter of time, not of authority.<div class=source><div class=author title=Author><a href="https://littleliberry.org/autonomy/a/extra/quotes/tag/time/author/Francis Bacon/">Francis Bacon</a></div></div></blockquote>#762Henry David Thoreauhttps://littleliberry.org/autonomy/a/extra/762/2012-07-30T10:26:23+02:00<blockquote>As if you could kill time without injuring eternity.<div class=source><div class=author title=Author><a href="https://littleliberry.org/autonomy/a/extra/quotes/tag/time/author/Henry David Thoreau/">Henry David Thoreau</a></div></div></blockquote>
