Word of wisdom about time

Here’s a collection of time quotes to encourage and inspire us to use our time wisely! Time can appear to go by fast or slow depending upon where we are and who we’re with. Isn’t it the case that when you were a kid, summers seemed to last forever and the days leading up to Christmas seemed never ending!? Or, when we got older in life, we turned around and it felt that years have passed as if all of a sudden? Or, why is it that some people never seem to have enough time and are always ‘too busy’, even though we all have the same number of hours in a day?

As the saying goes: Time is the world’s highest value currency and it can’t be saved up. Once spent, it’s gone from our lives forever. We hope you enjoy and reflect deeply upon these Quotes about Time.
