Have any time quotes you’d like to share?
Hi Shawn,
It’s the first “Time” I’m leaving a comment but am an avid reader and follower of your awesomely inspiring website. I like the quotes on time because after all Time is the 4th dimension to our existence and there are infinite things man can do with ‘time’…even travel back & forth someday…but nonetheless to travel back in time someday we have to keep travelling ‘forth’ in time every minute and every second..keep journeying to the destination of life!
Thanks Shawn for your brilliant brilliant efforts to enlighten our lives with motivational quotes..they make a difference in our lives in more ways than one…
Wow! Thanks Aartee!
I was just getting down on myself today…wondering if I’m really making any contribution to the world in any way, shape, or form.
Yes, I do get a fair amount of “praise” and thanks via email and I’ve saved quite a few of them for future reference. But I still begin to wonder sometimes.
Maybe I need to “raise the bar” a bit and think of a way to make an even greater impact…and maybe that by sending one good short quote every single day by email? Maybe it’s more videos? Maybe it’s one-on-one coaching? Maybe it’s public speaking? Maybe it’s getting my book into stores by finally finding a distributor? Maybe it’s daily blog posts…or multiple posts per day?
At any rate, your comment woke me up a bit. I guess I just needed that positive reinforcement today. Thanks!

“Time, is on my side. Yes it is.” – Mick Jagger
“A Stitch in TIME save Nine.” – Traditional
Thank you for the quotes. Time is so valuable and sometimes I need to be reminded to make the most of every minute. I try to make every moment of my life a step in a positive direction. That is hard to do. And it is frustrating when there never seems to be enough time. When I have lost people I care about, my biggest regret is always that I didn’t spend as much time as I would have liked to with them.
Nicely, Time is never available to any one who does not prepare for it. I am impressed by these Time Quotes. Thank you.
Thanks, Bill, for catching that. I always thought it was Emerson who made that statement, but Thoreau did rent Emerson’s cabin/land, right? Close enough. 🙂
Also, thanks for adding those other quotations.
Shawn
