Some days there never seems to be enough of it, other days it seems like we have tons of it to waste. But it’s our most important resource because it’s the one we can never, ever get back. These quotes are about time and how we may spend it, waste it, or treasure it.

1. “The chief beauty about time is that you cannot waste it in advance. The next year, the next day, the next hour are lying ready for you, as perfect, as unspoiled, as if you had never wasted or misapplied a single moment in all your life. You can turn over a new leaf every hour if you choose.”
-Arnold Bennett

2. “Time is the wisest counselor of all.”
-Pericles

3. “The two most powerful warriors are patience and time.”
-Leo Tolstoy

4. “Don’t waste your time in anger, regrets, worries, and grudges. Life is too short to be unhappy.”
-Roy T. Bennett

5. “The future is something which everyone reaches at the rate of sixty minutes an hour, whatever he does, whoever he is.”
-C.S. Lewis

6. “There are no secrets that time does not reveal.”
-Jean Racine
