The time at our disposal each day is elastic; the passions we feel dilate it, those that inspire us shrink it, and habit fills it.

We all have our time machines. Some take us back, they’re called memories. Some take us forward, they’re called dreams.

A kiss makes the heart young again and wipes out the years.

Nature gives to every time and season some beauties of its own; and from morning to night, as from the cradle to the grave, it is but a succession of changes so gentle and easy that we can scarcely mark their progress.

When we bring back with us the objects most dear, and find those we left unchanged, we are tempted to doubt the lapse of time; but one link in the chain of affection broken, and every thing seems altered.

Old deeds for old people, and new deeds for new.

He who has not the spirit of this age, has all the misery of it.

The future influences the present just as much as the past.

The man for whom time stretches out painfully is one waiting in vain, disappointed at not finding tomorrow already continuing yesterday.

The present was an egg laid by the past that had the future inside its shell.
