Top 15 Time Quotes

15) By the time we’ve made it, we’ve had it. – Malcolm Forbes

14) But what minutes!  Count them by sensation, and not by calendars, and each moment is a day. – Benjamin Disraeli

13) A good holiday is one spent among people whose notions of time are vaguer than yours. – John B. Priestly

4) Don’t watch the clock; do what it does. Keep going. – Sam Levenson

3) In reality, killing time is only the name for another of the multifarious ways by which Time kills us. – Osbert Sitwell

2) The less one has to do, the less time one finds to do it in. – Lord Chesterfield
