Time

There was ample time to note these particulars, for besides that they were sufficiently obvious without very close observation, some moments elapsed before any one broke silence

Time is the most valuable thing a man can spend.

(Theophrastus)

The long winter evenings were devoted to reading seed catalogs and planning her garden. Julia was always eager for spring to arrive.

THE TIME you won your town the race
We chaired you through the market-place;
Man and boy stood cheering by,
And home we brought you shoulder-high.

To-day, the road all runners come,
Shoulder-high we bring you home,
And set you at your threshold down,
Townsman of a stiller town.

Smart lad, to slip betimes away
From fields where glory does not stay
And early though the laurel grows
It withers quicker than the rose.

Eyes the shady night has shut
Cannot see the record cut,
And silence sounds no worse than cheers
After earth has stopped the ears:

Now you will not swell the rout
Of lads that wore their honours out,
Runners whom renown outran
And the name died before the man.

So set, before its echoes fade,
The fleet foot on the sill of shade,
And hold to the low lintel up
The still-defended challenge-cup.

And round that early-laurelled head
Will flock to gaze the strengthless dead,
And find unwithered on its curls
The garland briefer than a girl’s.

A.E.Housman – To an Athlete Dying Young

An inch of time cannot be bought with an inch of gold.

(Chinese Proverb)

Time itself seemed to have grown dull and old, as if no day were ever to displace the melancholy night.

Do not squander time for that is the stuff life is made of.

(Benjamin Franklin)

Time crumbles things; everything grows old under the power of Time and is forgotten through the lapse of Time.

(Aristotle)

Unix Time – the number of seconds since 00:00:00 UTC on Jan. 1, 1970.

I do not have enough time left in my life to spend it
with training for the world record in marathon running.
