“Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful, lest you let other people spend it for you.” —Carl Sandburg
“Time is a finite resource, and we all place infinite demands on it. I view time as an opportunity, as a chance to make choices about how I spend that resource—because it is our choice. And that’s something people often forget.” —Maggie Wilderotter
“Time never stops to rest, never hesitates, never looks forward or backward. Life’s raw material spends itself now, this moment—which is why how you spend your time is far more important than all the material possessions you may own or positions you may attain.” —Denis Waitley
“Guard well your spare moments. They are like uncut diamonds. Discard them, and their value will never be known. Improve them, and they will become the brightest gems in a useful life.” —Ralph Waldo Emerson
