| "One of the best lessons that anyone can learn in life is how to use
time wisely. Consider what can be done in ten minutes. If you need a
little mental relaxation, you can sit down with a friend and play a game
of cards. If you need some physical recreation, you can engage in a few
exercises that will help tone up your body. Perhaps you have a friend who
for weeks or months has been looking for a letter. Then there may be among
your acquaintances someone whose friendship you would value highly and
whose counsel would be profitable. Learn to use ten minutes intelligently.
It will pay you huge dividends." | |

world." | |

| "Time Management Tips: One can make a radar-like sweep of the horizon
to identify time and task challenges while these are still manageable and
while we still have a choice. The organizational adage, "the more parts,
the more trouble," also applies to words. Multiplying words may actually
multiply the probability of being misunderstood; economies in expression
(without being taciturn or aloof) not only save time, but usually are more
honest and more clear. Regarding writing down thoughts and ideas: often we
never recover what came to us once and went unused. What is the wisest use
I can make of this sliver of time? Commit rather explicitly to
goals." | |

Neal A. Maxwell

| "We all sorely complain of the shortness of time, and yet have much
more than we know what to do with. Our lives are either spent in doing
nothing at all, or in doing nothing to the purpose, or in doing nothing
that we ought to do. We are always complaining that our days are few, and
acting as though there would be no end of them." | |

| "Well. There was noting to be done for it. Things had happened as
they did, time"s arrow had yet to be reversed by humans, done was done. If
a man spent his life looking over his shoulder at every possible branching
of his path he could have taken, he would never accomplish anything. One
must learn from history so as not to repeat it, but one must not waste
one"s energy or time worrying about what might have been. Sorry ... but
people die every day and the galaxy continues on quite well without them.
Consider yourself lucky you are one of those as yet unselected by the
Fates." | |

Steve Perry

|
| "What a dead thing is a clock, with its ponderous embowelments of
lead and brass, its pert or solemn dullness of communication, compared
with the simple altar-like structure and silent heart-language of the old
sundials! It stood as the garden god of Christian gardens. Why is it
almost everywhere vanished? If its business-use be superseded by more
elaborate inventions, its moral uses, its beauty, might have pleaded for
its continuance. It spoke of moderate labours, of pleasures not protracted
after sunset, of temperance, and good hours. It was the primitive clock,
the horologue of the first world. Adam could scare have missed it in
Paradise." | |
|
Charles Lamb
|
|
| "When I give a lecture, I accept that people look at their watches,
but what I do not tolerate is when they look at it and raise it to their
ear to find out if it stopped." | |

|
| "When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stonecutter hammering
away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing
in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know
it was not that blow that did it, but all that had gone before." | |
|
Jacob August Riis
|
|
| "When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you,

up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.
