Time glides by with constant movement, not unlike a stream. For neither can a stream stay its course, nor can the fleeting hour. [Lat., Assiduo labuntur tempora motu, Non secus ad flumen. Neque enim consistere flumen. Nec levis hora potest.] - Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso), Metamorphoses (XV, 180) Time that devours all things.

Tyranny, like Hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have the consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheaply we esteem too lightly; it is dearness only that gives everything of value.

II, st. 42) Man yields to death; and man's sublimest works Must yield at length to Time. - Thomas Love Peacock, Time (l. 65) Time is lord of thee: Thy wealth, thy glory. and thy name are his. - Thomas Love Peacock, Time (l. 71) The present is our own; but while we speak, We cease from its possession, and resign The stage we tread on, to another race, As vain, and gay, and mortal as ourselves. - Thomas Love Peacock, Time (l. 9) His golden locks time hath to silver turned, O time too swift! O swiftness never ceasing! His youth 'gainst Time and Age hath ever spurned, But spurned in vain! Youth waneth by increasing. - George Peele, Sonnet--Polyhymnia His golden locks time hath to silver turned. - George Peele, Sonnet--Polyhymnia There is nothing of which we are apt to be so lavish as of time, and about which we ought to be more solicitous, since without it we can do nothing in this world. Time is what we want most, but what, alas! we use worst. - William Penn Time is the wisest counsellor. - Pericles Wait for the wisest of all councilors, time. - Pericles Seize time by the forelock. - Pittacus of Mitylene, also said by Thales of Miletus The happier the time, the quicker it passes.

II, ep. 2) Displaying page 11 of 18 for this topic: << Prev Next >> 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 [11] 12 13 14 15 16 17 18
