Inspirational Quotations on Spending time wisely

Time is too slow for those who wait
too swift for those who fear
too long for those who grieve,
too short for those who rejoice,
but for those who love, time is eternity.
Hours fly, flowers die,
new days, new ways pass by,
Love stays.
Henry van Dyke Jr. (1852–1933) American Author, Educator, Clergyman

The key is in not spending time, but in investing it.
Stephen Covey (1932–2012) American Self-help Author

In eternity there is indeed something true and sublime. But all these times and places and occasions are now and here. God himself culminates in the present moment and will never be more divine in the lapse of the ages. Time is but a stream I go a-fishing in. I drink at it, but when I drink I see the sandy bottom and detect how shallow it is. Its thin current slides away but eternity remains.
Henry David Thoreau (1817–62) American Philosopher

We must use time as a tool, not as a couch.
John F. Kennedy (1917–63) American Head of State, Journalist

I am coming to feel that the people of ill will have used time much more effectively than the people of goodwill. We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people, but for the appalling silence of the good people. We must come to see that human progress never rolls in on wheels of inevitability. It comes through the tireless efforts and persistent work of men willing to be co-workers with God, and without this hard work time itself becomes an ally of the forces of social stagnation. We must use time creatively, and forever realize that the time is always ripe to do right. Now is the time to make real the promise of democracy, and transform our pending national elegy into a creative psalm of brotherhood. Now is the time to lift our national policy from the quicksand of racial injustice to the solid rock of human dignity.
Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929–68) American Civil Rights Leader, Clergyman

Time is like money, the less we have of it to spare the further we make it go.

Marcia Wieder

Time is not measured by the passing of years, but by what one does, what one feels and what one achieves.

Half our life is spent trying to find something to do with the time we have rushed through life trying to save.

Life is half spent before we know what it is.
