There are some things that can only be learned over time. Such as, well, learning about time iteslf! That’s why I have appealed to the geniuses of our human race for intellectual quotes on time.
They are all short quotes, because I have a short attention span. I have selected my top 9 in preparation for the Vancouver Time Auction, happening at 6pm on July 9th, at the UBC Student Union Building (Facebook Event).
1. Men talk of killing time, while time quietly kills them. ~Dion Boucicault
2. Time is like the wind, it lifts the light and leaves the heavy. ~Doménico Cieri Estrada
3. How long a minute is, depends on which side of the bathroom door you’re on. ~Zall’s Second Law
4. The time you think you’re missing, misses you too. ~Ymber Delecto
5. Watches are so named as a reminder – if you don’t watch carefully what you do with your time, it will slip away from you. ~Drew Sirtors
6. Time is what we want most, but… what we use worst. ~Willaim Penn
7. Time is a great teacher, but unfortunately it kills all its pupils. ~Louis Hector Berlioz
8. What may be done at any time will be done at no time. ~Scottish Proverb
9. Time is money. ~Benjamin Franklin (we used this in our tagline… thank you Mr. $100 bill!)
Everyone is loaded at a Time Auction… might as well get something :). Bid your volunteering hours for over $7,000 in products and services at the Vancouver Time Auction!
Going once… going twice… go on Thursday, July 9th, 2009!
