Since time is
the one immaterial object which we cannot influence --
neither speed up nor slow down, add to nor diminish -- it is
an imponderably valuable gift. Each of us has a few minutes
a day or a few hours a week which we could donate to an old
folks home or a children's hospital ward. The elderly whose
pillows we plump or whose water pitchers we refill may or
may not thank us for our gift, but the gift is upholding the
foundation of the universe.
-- Maya Angelou
1928-, African-American poet,

He who lets
time rule him will live the life of a slave.
-- John Arthorne
American Researcher
