1. Time is life, time is speed, and time is power.

2. Wasted time equals wasted life.

3. An inch of time is worth an inch of gold, but an inch of gold cannot buy an inch of time.

4. There are three paces of time: the future arrives belatedly, the present flies like an arrow, and the past stands still forever.

5. The fastest and slowest thing in the world, the longest and shortest thing, the most ordinary thing but the most precious thing, the most easily ignored thing, and the most regrettable thing is time.
