SOME QUOTES ABOUT TIME
William Shakespeare: Better three hours too soon, than one minute too
late.
Charles Richards: Don’t be fooled by the calendar. There are only as
many days in the year as you make use of. One man gets only a week’s
value out of a year while another man gets a full year’s value out of a
week.
Ralph Waldo Emerson: So much of our time is spent in preparation, so
much in routine, and so much in retrospect, that the amount of each
person’s genius is confined to a very few hours.
Bruce Lee: If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you’ll never
get it done.

A QUOTE TO REMIND YOU ABOUT BEING KIND
It’s almost like there’s no frame on the world for
which we have less sympathy and generosity than
the one which we have only newly, and perhaps
perilously, begun to extricate ourselves from.
