Fancy Schmancy Quotes About Time

Personally, I love quotes. Quotes hold so much meaning in so few words. Last year I was searching for a cool quote to put on a giant clock. I wasn't too excited about the "love at home" and "Families are Forever" sayings (maybe because I'm single). I wanted something different and something that meant more to me. I came up with these two:

Time discovers truth.
-Seneca

Life, if lived well, is long enough.
-Seneca

Seneca, a Roman philosopher, had quotes that really touched me and contained mountains of truth in his sayings. If you live your life well, it doesn't matter how long or short it is. In the process of time, all truths will be revealed. We just have to be patient.

I found a lot more quotes about time and life that I liked on the internet. Here's the list of quotes that didn't make the cut:

We say we waste time, but that is impossible. We waste ourselves.”

-Alice Bloch

You may delay, but time will not.

-Benjamin Franklin
