Here are some additional thoughts that the writer of Ecclesiastes might have about time if he lived in a different day:
How long a minute is depends on which side of the bathroom door you are standing.
-- Will Rogers
Have regular hours for work and play; make each day both useful and pleasant, and prove that you understand the worth of time by employing it well. Then youth will be delightful, old age will bring few regrets, and life will become a beautiful success.
-- Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888), novelist
SUNDAY
If there is no wind, row.
-- Latin Proverb
We either make ourselves miserable or we make ourselves strong. The amount of work is the same.
-- Carlos Castaneda (1925-1998), author, philosopher
That which we persist in doing becomes easier, not that the task itself has become easier, but that our ability to perform it has improved.
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882), essayist, poet, philosopher
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Appreciate your friends. Continue to learn. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
-- Mary Anne Radmacher, author
Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.
-- Thomas Edison (1847-1931) inventor, entrepreneur
We are all faced with a series of great opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations.
-- Charles R. Swindoll (b.1934), writer, clergyman
Kites rise highest against the wind, not with it.
-- Sir Winston Churchill (1874-1965), British statesman, prime minister, author, Nobel Prize winner
Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world's grief. Do justly, now. Love mercy, now. Walk humbly, now. You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to abandon it.
-- Talmud (attributed)
The child who enters life comes not with knowledge or intent, / So those who enter death must go as little children sent. / Nothing is known. But I believe that God is overhead; / And as life is to the living, so death is to the dead.
-- Mary Mapes Dodge
