We are weighed
down, every moment, by the conception and the sensation of
Time. And there are but two means of escaping and forgetting
this nightmare: pleasure and work. Pleasure consumes us.
Work strengthens us. Let us choose.

weaving when the sun went down is weaving when it comes up
in the morning.

they take to make a man?

Orator, Writer
The first hour

The supply of
time is a daily miracle. You wake up in the morning and lo!
Your purse is magnificently filled with 24 hours of the
unmanufactured tissue of the universe of life. It is yours!

of your life! It is yours. It is the most precious of
possessions. No one can take it from you. And no one
receives either more or less than you receive.
-- Arnold Bennett

We never shall
have any more time we have, and we have always had, all the
time there is.
-- Thomas A. Bennett
