Each age has its advantages, and youth with the forces lurking in it has especially many of them. Who cares about the future, he is most concerned about the younger generation.

We vainly dwell in thought in times that no longer exist, and without reflection we miss the present.
B. Pascal

A person must arrange his life in accordance with one of two assumptions: 1) that he will live forever; 2) that his term on earth is fleeting, perhaps less than an hour; so it really is.

J. J. Rousseau

Good use of time makes time even more precious.
J. J. Rousseau

E. Senancourt

For one who knows how to use his life well, it is not short.

3. Freud

If the day has passed, do not remember it,
Do not groan in fear before the coming day,
Don't worry about the future and the past
Know the price of today's happiness!
O. Khayyam

A person's age is expressed not by the number written in the passport, but by the youthfulness of the heart, by how hot it beats in the person's chest. Old age begins from the moment when a person loses touch with the younger generation, when he prevents the young from moving forward. N. Hikmet

The youth casts aside the illusions of childhood, the husband casts aside the ignorance and violent passions of youth, and further casts aside the husband's egoism and becomes more and more a universal soul. He rises to a higher and more real level of life.
R. Emerson

Indeed, what is the difference between an old man and a child, except for the fact that the former is wrinkled and counts more days from birth? The same white hair, toothless mouth, small stature, addiction to milk, tongue-tied tongue, talkativeness, stupidity, forgetfulness, recklessness. In short, they are alike in every way. The older people get, the closer they are to children, and, finally, like real babies, not disgusted by life, not conscious of death, they leave the world.
Erasmus of Rotterdam

Each present has its own future, which illuminates it and which disappears with it, becoming past-future.
Sartre J.-P.
In order to live a good life, there is no need to know where you came from and what will happen in the next world.

If you want change in the future, be that change in the present.

In fact, there is no time, there is no “tomorrow”, there is only the eternal “now”
Akunin B.

Still, Time, wherever you look, weaves all things and events into one continuous canvas, don't you think?

Haruki Murakami

I think that a good half of all human deeds have as their goal the realization of the unrealizable. I think that most of our smallest disappointments are due to the fact that something unrealizable appears to us in the future, and then, some time later, already in the past - realizable, and then we feel it that we have not realized it.
Sartre J.-P.

We don't have time to be ourselves. It's just enough to be happy.

Once upon a time, Plato said: “Time takes away everything,” and although this expression is more than one hundred years old, it still remains relevant. But not only Plato liked to philosophize about the course of being and the transience of life. Many famous writers and great thinkers have similar statements. So many lines have been written on the topic “Time” that it is simply impossible to count them all.

And therefore, let's plunge into the world of literature and draw some wisdom from there. Let's take a look at the brightest beautiful sayings great about time and its course - about the eternal series of life and death. And who knows, perhaps this knowledge will be able to radically change someone's worldview.

Transience of everything

I would like to start with the fact that many statements about time show us how fleeting everything is in the world. It would seem that just yesterday we were little children and ran around the parental yard, and today we are already watching our own grandchildren grow up. And this order of things applies to everything that surrounds us.

That is why many sayings about time remind us that everything in this world has its end.

  1. "Minutes, like fast horses, fly without looking back. You look around - the sunset is so close that it can no longer be turned back" (Al-Maarri).
  2. "Life will fly by like a crazy wind, and nothing will hold it back"
  3. “Alas, one cannot return one’s youth, become again as unrestrainedly bold and beautiful. Even a young gait cannot be turned back” (Yu. Bondarev).
  4. "The closer old age is, the faster the clock moves."
  5. "In this life, only the tide and time do not wait for anyone" (V. Scott).

Learn to value time

However, realizing the transience of time is only half the battle. After that, you need to learn how to take care of it, cherish every second you live. After all, time is the most valuable currency in the world. But unlike real bills, it cannot be borrowed or stolen from another person.

And therefore, many tirelessly remind us of how important it is to appreciate every second of your life:

  1. "The wise use of time makes it even more precious" (J. J. Rousseau).
  2. "Learning to enjoy the past means learning to live doubly" (Martial).
  3. “He who dares to waste an hour of his time simply does not know how to live” (Charles Darwin).
  4. "Time does not wait for anyone, and even more so does not forgive a single missed moment" (N. Garin-Mikhailovsky).
  5. "One today is much more expensive than two tomorrows" (B. Franklin).

How to spend your life

Well, for those who have realized everything, there is only one thing left - to learn how to spend it wisely. After all, there are thousands of different possibilities and chances that should be tried and tested. This is the only way to feel the true taste of life, so that later you will not regret anything. And here are the most striking expressions about time, proving this truth:

  1. "Every new day is a student of yesterday"
  2. "Life ceases to be short for those who have learned to use it wisely" (Seneca Jr.).
  3. “Only a few are able to see the world in all its details. Most involuntarily limit themselves to one of its versions or several areas; but the less a person knows about the present and the past, the more fragile his hopes for a brighter future become” (Sigmund Freud).

Sayings about time: the wonderful world of watches

In conclusion, here are a few more sayings about the passage of time left to us by the great minds of the past. And let the depth of their wisdom become a real find for the inquisitive minds of our time.

  1. "People with a sour expression pass thousands of hours past them, forgetting to enjoy them. And then, with the advent of old age, they sadly remember them" (A. Schopenhauer).
  2. "A mediocre person thinks about how to kill time. A talented person seeks to use it correctly" (A. Schopenhauer).
  3. "Only time can heal all wounds" (Menander).
  4. "Life seems long if it is filled with something important. Therefore, let's measure it by actions, and not by the hours that have passed" (Seneca).
  5. "If time is the most precious thing, then wasting it is the greatest crime"
