You may delay, but time will not
Yet tremble at the slow, silent power of time
Time flies on restless pinions - constant never. Be constant - and thou chainest time forever
Who knows what may be slumbering in the background of time!
Day follows on the murkiest night, and, when the time comes, the latest fruits will ripen
Time consecrates; and what is gray with age becomes religion
All things deteriorate in time
All our sweetest hours fly fastest
The only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen at once
The distinction between the past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion
