Fw: TIME
John O. Andersen
Some great thoughts I got from a person on a carpet cleaners' email list. I'm not sure who the author is.

TIME
A minute is a little thing, but minutes make the day.
So crowd in some kind deeds before it slips away.
The trouble with being punctual is that nobody is there to appreciate
it.
If you don't have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it
over?

T.T.T
Put up in a place
where it's easy to see
the cryptic admonishment
T.T.T.
When you feel how depressingly
slowly you climb,
it's well to remember that
Things Take Time.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Time
* The future is purchased by the present.
* Lost time is never found again.
* One thing you can't recycle is wasted time.
* Procrastination is the thief of time.
* This time, like all times, is a very good one, if we know what to
do with it.
* Time is more valuable than money because time is irreplaceable.
* What counts is not the number of hours you put in, but how
much you put in the hours.
* One thing you can learn by watching the clock is that it passes
time by keeping it's hands busy.
* Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is mystery. Today is a gift.
That's why it's called the present!
* Killing time murders opportunities.
* Devote each day to the object then in time and every evening will
find something done.
* Do not dwell in the past. Do not dream of the future. Concentrate the
mind on the present moment.
* Dost thou love life? then do not squander time, for that is the stuff
life is made of.
* I wasted time, and now doth time waste me.
* If you lose an hour in the morning, you have to hunt for it the rest
of the day.
* Know the true value of time; snatch, seize, and enjoy every moment of
it. No idleness, no laziness, no procrastination: never put off
till to-morrow what you can do to-day.
* Lost, yesterday, somewhere between sunrise and sunset, two golden
hours, each set with sixty diamond minutes. No reward is offered, for
they are gone forever!
* Neither will the wave which has passed be called back; nor can the
hour which has gone by return.
* One always has time enough, if one will apply it well.
* The farther backward you can look, the farther forward you are likely
to see.
* The future comes one day at a time.
* The future influences the present just as much as the past.
* The Future is something which everyone reaches at the rate of sixty
minutes an hour, whatever he does, whoever he is.
* The velocity with which time flies is infinite, as is most apparent
to those who look back.
* We take no note of time but from its loss.
* What a day may bring, a day may take away.
* What a folly to dread the thought of throwing away life at once, and
yet have no regard of throwing it away by parcels and piecemeal.
* When you sit with a nice girl for two hours, you think it's only a
minute. But when you sit on a hot stove for a minute, you think
it's two hours. That's relativity.
* You wake up in the morning, and lo! your purse is wonderfully filled
with twenty-four hours of the tissue of the universe of your life. No
one can take it from you. No one receives either more or less than you
receive. Waste your infinitely precious commodity as much as you will,
and the supply will never be withheld from you. Moreover, you cannot
draw on the future. Impossible to get into debt. You can only waste the
passing moment. You cannot waste tomorrow. It is kept for you.

This is by Piet Hein-=-he was a member of the Danish underground in WWII and wrote many things with double messages- - so that the messages were about and yet out of understanding of the Nazis. I used to ahve one of his books--I think it was called _Grooks_ (but I'm not sure)
