Quotes about having a good time with friends. Wise sayings about the times of great people
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 sayings. So many lines have been written on the topic "Time" that it is simply impossible to re-read them all.
Therefore, let's plunge into the world of literature and draw a little wisdom from there. Consider the most vivid and beautiful statements of the greats about time and its course - about the eternal succession of life and death. And who knows, perhaps this knowledge will be able to radically change someone's worldview.
The transience of everything
I want to start with the fact that many statements about time show us how fast everything in the world is. It would seem that only yesterday we were little kids and ran around the parental yard, but 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.
- "Minutes, like fast horses, fly without looking ahead. You look around - the sunset is so close that you can't turn it back" (Al-Maarri).
- "Life will fly by like a crazy wind, and nothing will hold it back"
- "Alas, you cannot return your youth, become again the same unrestrained impudent and beautiful. Even a young walk cannot be turned back" (Yu. Bondarev).
- "The closer the old age, the faster the hand of the clock strides."
- "In this life, only the tide and time wait for no one" (W. Scott).
Learn to value your 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 lived. After all, time is the most expensive currency in the world. But unlike real bills, it cannot be borrowed or stolen from another person.
Therefore, many tirelessly remind us of how important it is to appreciate every second of your life:
- "Reasonable use of time makes it even more precious" (J. J. Rousseau).
- "Learning to enjoy the past means learning to live doubly" (Martial).
- "The one who dares to waste an hour of his time simply does not know how to live" (Charles Darwin).
- "Time waits for no one, and even less forgives a single lost moment" (N. Garin-Mikhailovsky).
- "One today is much more expensive than two tomorrow" (B. Franklin).
How to spend your life right
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 as not to regret anything later. And here are the most vivid expressions about time, proving this truth:
- "Every new day is a disciple of yesterday"
- “Life ceases to be short for those who have learned to use it wisely” (Seneca Jr.).
- “Only a few are able to see the world in all its details. The majority involuntarily limits 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).
Quotes about time: the amazing world of watches
In conclusion, we will give 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 be a real boon for the inquisitive minds of our time.
- “People with a sour expression on their faces miss thousands of hours, forgetting to enjoy them. And then, with the advent of old age, they remember them with sadness” (A. Schopenhauer).
- "A mediocre person thinks about how to kill time. A talented person seeks to use it correctly" (A. Schopenhauer).
- "Only time can heal all wounds" (Menander).
- "Life seems long if it is filled with something important. Therefore, let's measure it by actions, and not by the past hours" (Seneca).
- "If time is the most precious thing, then wasting it is the biggest crime."
Sown in time - rises in time.

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

R. Emerson
Indeed, what is the difference between an old man and a child, except that the first is furrowed with wrinkles and has more days from birth? The same white hair, toothless mouth, short stature, addiction to milk, tongue-tied, talkativeness, stupidity, forgetfulness, recklessness. In short, they are all alike. The older people get, the closer they are to children, and, finally, like real babies, not feeling aversion to life, not conscious of death, they leave the world.

Quotes and Aphorisms 21.05.2018
Dear readers, let's talk with you today about such an elusive and incomprehensible thing as time. It cannot be touched, it is immaterial, however, sometimes we just physically feel how it leaves. Everything in this world has a price. And only time is priceless. It is impossible to stop him, it is impossible, unfortunately, even to slow down his run. And you can spend your time in different ways. But it is entirely within our power to make our spent time full of meaning.
Time is such a common and everyday thing in our life that we hardly think about what it really is. The scientific definition of time is very boring and tricky, so we will try to describe it using precise and succinct quotes and aphorisms about time.
What is time?
“Time is a moving image of motionless eternity. Anything that violates the unity of society is worthless; all institutions that put a person in contradiction with himself are worth nothing. "
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
"The wisest thing is time, for it reveals everything."
“Time is such a vague thing. One seems very long. To the other - the opposite. "

Augustine Aurelius

Theophrastus
Everything in our life comes in due time
Sometimes a person, carried away by any idea, rushes things, is in a hurry, and often this ultimately only harms the business. Quotes and aphorisms about time very accurately reflect the idea that everything has its time. Sometimes you need to take your time, collect your thoughts, and sometimes you need to be able to wait.
“There is a time for everything, and a time for every thing under the sky. Time to be born and time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck out what is planted. Time to kill and time to heal; a time to destroy and a time to build; a time to cry and a time to laugh; a time to lament and a time to dance; a time to scatter stones, and a time to collect stones; a time to embrace, and a time to avoid embracing; time to seek, and time to waste; time to save, and time to throw; a time to tear, and a time to stitch; a time to be silent and a time to speak; a time to love and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace. "
Ecclesiastes
“Everything in our life comes in due time. You just have to learn to wait! "
Honore de Balzac
“Don't rush to live. There is a time for everything - and everything will be your joy. For many, life is too long because happiness is too short: they missed joys early, did not enjoy them enough, then they would like to return them, but they have gone far from them. Throughout life, they rush on postage, add their haste to the usual running of time; in one day they are ready to swallow something that they will not digest in their entire life; they live the joys in debt, devour for years ahead, hurry and hurry - and squander everything. Even in knowledge it is necessary to know the measure, not to gain the knowledge that is not worth knowing. More days are given to us than blessed hours. Enjoy yourself slowly, but do not hesitate. The deeds are over - good; the joy is over - it's bad. "
Baltasar Gracian y Morales

Time with deep meaning
Time is an elusive and strange substance that governs our entire life. That is why so many facets of this concept are reflected in quotes and aphorisms about time with meaning. Sometimes the meaning of these statements does not lie on the surface, which will make us think about a lot.

About time and love ...
Time and love have a strange and paradoxical relationship. On the one hand, when a person is in love, his time next to a loved one flies by completely unnoticed. On the other hand, it is no secret that over time, the feeling of acute love is reborn into a mature and calm relationship. After all, everyone knows the expression that time is the killer of love. It is about this dual connection that is said in quotes and aphorisms about time and love.

About time and life
Despite the fact that time is an intangible concept, it is the most valuable resource at the disposal of mankind. How a person spends their time largely determines what their life will be like. In quotes and aphorisms about time and life, it is very wisely said about this.

Does time heal ...
There are many ambiguous points in statements about time. One of them is the age-old debate about whether or not time heals our wounds. I am still close to the idea that time alone is not able to heal any of our traumas until we ourselves let them go. And then our brain will push bad memories to the farthest shelf of memory, and over time we will come across them less and less often. It is very accurately and aptly said about this in the quotes that time does not heal.
“And time - it does not heal. It does not mend the wounds, it just closes them on top with a gauze bandage of new impressions, new sensations, life experience ... And sometimes, catching on to something, this bandage flies off, and fresh air enters the wound, giving it new pain ... and new life ... Time is a bad doctor ... It makes you forget about the pain of old wounds, inflicting more and more ... So we crawl through life like its wounded soldiers ... And every year the number of badly applied bandages grows and grows in my soul ... "
Erich Maria Remarque
"Time does not heal! Time will judge, time will show: who is the enemy, where are the friends ... Only time will be dispassionate and sincere "
"Time does not heal. We just get used to this pain, learn to live with it, and it becomes a part of us. "
"Time does not heal, time fills the memory with other events."
“Time still does not heal. Perhaps, it treats us as it does with sick children - it tries to distract, slip new toys ... And we push them away, demand an old worn teddy bear, turn to the wall and sniff resentfully ... "
"Time is the doctor of all inevitable evils."
"Where the mind is powerless, time often helps."

How fast is the running of time ...
In different periods of our life, time moves in different ways. The waiting time for a holiday is always longer than the holiday itself. What can we say about the main indicator of human time - age. Therefore, it is so important to be able to appreciate every moment and hour of our life. Quotes and aphorisms about how quickly and inexorably time flies, so accurately hit the target and sink into the soul.

“In childhood, it seems that life is just going by, crawling. I would grow faster! In his youth - it seems to be going well and it seems that it will be like this forever - it would be better to be stuck here a little longer, or better forever. Others can only grow old, but I never! In middle age, sometimes you forget to monitor its speed - not before, once or too lazy. It goes slowly and well. And now the time comes when you understand that life did not crawl, did not walk and did not stand, but flew, and always ”.
Galina Bobyleva

Yes, unfortunately, time is inexorable. You cannot stop him, you cannot ask him to slow down. And sooner or later a moment comes when a person himself realizes the full value of time. The main thing is that it is on time. After all, it is fully within our power to fill our existence with meaning and not waste a single moment in vain.
