I accept Time absolutely.
- It alone is without flaw,
- It alone rounds and completes all,
- That mystic baffling wonder.
Time as he grows old teaches all things.
Time cools, time clarifies, no mood can be maintained quite unaltered through the course of hours.
Time will pass, and we shall go away for ever, and we shall be forgotten, our faces will be forgotten, our voices, and how many there were of us; but our sufferings will pass into joy for those who will live after us, happiness and peace will be established upon earth, and they will remember kindly and bless those who have lived before.
The strongest of all warriors are these two — Time and Patience.
Time has no divisions to mark its passage, there is never a thunderstorm or blare of trumpets to announce the beginning of a new month or year. Even when a new century begins it is only we mortals who ring bells and fire off pistols.
There is no difference between Time and any of the three dimensions of Space except that our consciousness moves along it.
- If you can look into the seeds of time,
- And say which grain will grow, and which will not,
- Speak.
Our mental existences, which are immaterial and have no dimensions, are passing along the Time-Dimension with a uniform velocity from the cradle to the grave. Just as we should travel down if we began our existence fifty miles above the earth's surface.
- Oh Time, thou must untangle this, not I;
- It is too hard a knot for me to untie.
Have you not done tormenting me with your accursed time! It's abominable! When! When! One day, is that not enough for you, one day he went dumb, one day I went blind, one day we'll go deaf, one day we were born, one day we shall die, the same day, the same second, is that not enough for you? (Calmer.) They give birth astride of a grave, the light gleams an instant, then it's night once more.
- Time doth run with calm and silent foot,
- Shortening my days and thread of vital life.
Time brings all things to pass.
Time goes by so fast. Nothin' can outrun it.
Time eases all things.
Clocks slay time. Time is dead as long as it is being clicked off by little wheels; only when the clock stops does time come to life.

On the human imagination events produce the effects of time.
Nothing makes time pass more quickly or more shortens a journey than a thought that absorbs all the faculties of the one who thinks. External existence then resembles a sleep of which this thought is the dream. By its influence, time has no measure, space no distance. We depart from one place and arrive at another--that is all. Of the interval between the two, nothing remains in the memory but a vague mist in which a thousand confused images of trees, mountains, and landscapes are merged.
The supposed great misery of our century is the lack of time; our sense of that, not a disinterested love of science, and certainly not wisdom, is why we devote such a huge proportion of the ingenuity and income of our societies to finding faster ways of doing things--as if the final aim of mankind was to grow closer not to a perfect humanity, but to a perfect lightning flash.
Time has not stood still. It has washed over me, washed me away, as if I’m nothing more than a woman of sand, left by a careless child too near the water.
