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. Robert Kegan
