Time flow. I. Kant was the first to suggest: the more impressions a person receives over a period of time, the longer it subsequently seems to him.

In the above and similar cases, time proportions change, the relationships in which the real time durations of real things and phenomena are found.

“...time is absolute, autonomous and independent of the material world; it appears as a homogeneous and unchanging flow from the past through the present to the future.”

Sayings and Quotes

Quotes from famous people about the meaning of life

Most of us know only a couple of quotes about time, which boil down to the fact that time, firstly, is money, and, secondly, business is time, and fun is an hour. The author of the first statement is the American scientist and politician Benjamin Franklin, and the second is the Russian Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich. And, in principle, for many, the knowledge of smart and beautiful phrases about time ends there. What else do people know for sure about time, that it should be valued. True, despite this knowledge, some people prefer to “kill” time rather than spend it usefully. We suggest combining the first and second - spending a few minutes usefully: reading, perhaps, new quotes about time with meaning. After all, throughout the history of mankind, billions of people have tried to understand what time is, and thousands of writers and scientists have tried to give it their definition. We have collected their quotes on this matter especially for you.

Controversial statement. After all, it itself can cause pain. You could say time is a good teacher. This will be closer to the truth. Remember the value of time.

Phrases and quotes about time and its significance from great people

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I never watch the clock: time was created for man, not man for time.
Francois Rabelais

People spend their lives in anticipation, determined to indulge in serene happiness sometime later, when they find time for it. But the present has one advantage over any other time: it belongs to us. Past opportunities have passed, the future has not yet arrived. We can store up pleasures for future use, as we would stock up on wine; but if we delay too much in using them, we will find that both have become sour over time!
Charles Caleb Colton

Perhaps meaningful quotes about time will make you think about this. After all, everyone can sooner or later be faced with the fact that, waking up one morning, they will understand that in their life they never managed to do anything that they dreamed of. Yes, time is cruel, it will not spare anyone. Therefore, you cannot put off your plans, dreams and desires for later.

Lee Iacocca

Although the duration of time is clearly measured in seconds, minutes, hours, and so on, the thief’s perception of time differs depending on age. Children believe that time passes, it doesn’t even go, but drags on, very slowly. They want to grow up faster. Adults, on the contrary, believe that time flies and, unfortunately, often flies by. Adults would like to return the happy moments of their childhood, but it’s too late. And the best quotes about time will confirm this to you. There is something to think about...

Meaningful words about seconds, minutes and hours

Wasted time is time in which we have not lived a full human life, time not enriched by experience, creativity, joy and suffering.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Time is like water that flows away to no one knows where and at what speed. Here are the phrases: “ time passed so quickly, and I didn’t have time to do anything», « My God, it's already evening!», « Yes, I didn’t have time to do anything at all today, back and forth - and the day is over" - can be heard quite often.

How often, as children, we thought: I wish I could quickly become adults, finish school and go on a free voyage. I think everyone dreamed about this. And today you find out that one of your classmates has two children, and one of them has already gone to school; the other managed to get divorced and remarry, and the third... passed away. They tried to grow, they grew up - and what came out of it: problems, worries, troubles. In childhood, everything was easy: study for your health - nothing else is required of you, your parents took care of everything else. And today, perhaps, some of them are no longer alive, and there is no one to turn to for advice. Here's to adult life and free swimming.

The school and student years are over, work and the gray days of work have begun, and now there is only one desire - at least to go on vacation as quickly as possible. Time flies oh how unnoticed, stealing our youth, strength, energy. We don’t have time to wake up, and we already have to go to bed again. During the day you have to solve many issues. Sometimes you get so involved in things that you simply don’t have time to sit down and drink a cup of coffee.

There are different theories about what actually happened to time, why it passes so quickly, and why it feels like it has sped up. Without going into the depths of physics and related sciences, we can say: no matter how scientists argue, proving that they are right, time has indeed accelerated its pace and will continue to accelerate.

One of the signs of the End of the World is that time will shorten. Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “ The End of the World will not come until time speeds up. It will accelerate so that a year will become as fast as a month, a month as a week, a week as a day, and a day as one hour, and an hour will pass as quickly as the flash of a torch. " Aren't we living in such times? At the same time, which means there is nothing to be surprised that we do not manage to do anything planned for the day. Time is so fleeting that sometimes it seems that we are in some kind of cycle of events, and by the evening we don’t have enough strength for anything. You run and run all day long, but for what? For the sake of a thousand, two thousand rubles, prayer is done in a hurry, where it is necessary and how it is necessary. In our lives, the roles of what is obligatory and what is desirable have changed significantly.

Prayer is a fard (duty), and we can miss it without even regretting it, reassuring ourselves that we were in transport, at a lecture or somewhere else. Skipping a day from the obligatory fast in the month of Ramadan is also not difficult for us: we feel unwell three or four hours before iftar, we break our fast ahead of time and again justify ourselves by saying that after drinking some water we felt better, but that day can be refunded. And so everything that directly relates to our religion Islam. I really like the position of those Muslims who plan their day based on the time of namaz (prayer) - they do not take on anything extra from one prayer to the next. That is, until the farz is completed, there is no point in doing anything else. Otherwise, how can you then answer before Allah Almighty? But we will be asked about performing namaz first of all.

Well, in order to still get the most out of your day, it is recommended to learn how to plan your day. Of course, everything is known only to the Creator, and sometimes absolutely nothing comes of what was planned, but nevertheless, self-organization has not yet prevented anyone.

When leaving home every day, be it for work, study or other matters, try to prepare everything you need in the evening: clothes, a handbag, and for your husband - also clothes, his documents, car keys. Let everything be in one place, otherwise you simply cannot avoid the morning rush and bustle.

Be sure to try to analyze all the tasks for the day, what needs to be done first, and what can wait. I repeat, if the solution to all problems is in progress and you have to travel all over the city, then be sure to combine your work with prayer!

Often, in a hurry, we do several things at once - as a result, sometimes nothing happens, as in the saying: if you chase two hares, you won’t catch either.

“You don’t need to follow the example of Julius Caesar, even if you are good at handling different things at the same time. You won’t be able to get things done faster, don’t give in to illusions. To complete a specific task, mobilize your strength and try to do it well and quickly. Automate as much as possible the process of performing functions that have become daily for you. There is no need to get hung up on cleaning the apartment or washing the dishes. And when you perform these operations, think about other “steps” that will require your concentration and attention. But when doing parallel things, don’t put sugar in the pan instead of salt” (http://www.allwomens.ru).

The same applies to men: a combination of different tasks will help you, by doing something alternately, activate your brain, take a break from one thing while doing another, and at the same time learn to do the priority first.

Don't forget about rest. The constant workload, running around, bustle, and just plain sitting in the office all day at the computer is exhausting. If you have a sedentary job, get up and walk along the corridor, this will make you feel lighter. If you are a writer, then the school one will suit you: “We wrote, we wrote, our fingers were tired, and now we will rest and start writing again.” There are special recommendations for those who constantly sit at the keyboard.

Again, for Muslims there is an excellent way to switch attention to something else, something different, sharply different from your main occupation - prayer, conversation with Allah Almighty. Having performed ablution and stood on the prayer mat, you disconnect from pressing problems, and at this moment you feel extraordinary lightness, a feeling of unity with the Creator of the Universe, and such a colossal charge of positive energy that you want to move mountains. People who are busy with physical labor all day rest at least for some period, which helps them continue to work, and for creative people this is an excellent chance to gain new strength; a surge of imagination is guaranteed to you - just communicate with the Lord! To a person who takes one step towards Him, Allah takes ten, after which grace will always be with those who are submissive to their God.

Time runs inexorably - second by second, and this run cannot be stopped. This is how minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years add up... We may not have time to do everything, but we can’t forget the Creator, the One who is so favorable to us, who loves us more than anyone else in the world. He who strives for Him will distribute his time and day in such a way as to bring maximum benefit to people and society, with the intention that Allah Almighty will be pleased with him. And when any task is done with such intention and your diligence and effort makes someone feel better, then at the end of the day you can safely say that today it was not in vain.

Once upon a time, Plato said: “Time carries away everything,” and although this expression is hundreds of years old, it still remains relevant. But not only Plato loved to philosophize about the course of existence and the transience of life. Many famous writers and great thinkers have similar sayings. So many lines have been written on the topic “Time” that it is simply impossible to count them all.

Therefore, let's plunge into the world of literature and glean some wisdom from there. Let's consider the most striking and beautiful statements of the greats about time and its course - about the eternal series of life and death. And who knows, perhaps this knowledge can radically change someone’s worldview.

Transience of everything

I would like to start with the fact that many statements about time show us how fleeting everything is in the world. It would seem that just yesterday we were little kids running around our parents’ yard, and today we are already watching our own grandchildren grow up. And this order of things applies to everything that surrounds us.

That is why many sayings about time remind us that everything in this world has its end.

“Minutes, like fast horses, fly forward without looking back. If you look around, the sunset is so close that you can’t turn it back” (Al-Maarri).
"Life will fly by like a crazy wind, and nothing will stop it"
“Alas, you cannot regain your youth, become again as uncontrollably daring and beautiful. You cannot even turn back your youthful gait” (Yu. Bondarev).
“The closer you get to old age, the faster the clock hand moves.”
“In this life, only the tide and time wait for no one” (W. Scott).

Learn to value time

However, recognizing the transience of time is only half the battle. After this, you need to learn to take care of it, cherish every second you live. After all, time is the most valuable currency in the world. But unlike real banknotes, it cannot be borrowed or stolen from another person.

Therefore, many tirelessly remind us of how important it is to appreciate every second of our lives:

“The wise use of time makes it even more precious” (J. J. Rousseau).
“Learning to enjoy the past means learning to live doubly” (Martial).
“He who dares to waste an hour of his time simply does not know how to live” (Charles Darwin).
“Time waits for no one, and certainly does not forgive a single missed moment” (N. Garin-Mikhailovsky).
“One today is much more valuable than two tomorrow” (B. Franklin).

How to spend your life wisely

Well, for those who have realized everything, there is only one thing left - to learn to spend it wisely. After all, there are thousands of different opportunities and chances that should be tried and tested. This is the only way to feel the true taste of life, so that you don’t regret anything later. And here are the most striking expressions about time that prove this truth:

"Every new day is a student of yesterday"
“Life ceases to be short for those who have learned to use it wisely” (Seneca the Younger).
“Only a few are able to see the world in all its details. Most inevitably limit themselves to one of its versions or several areas; but the less a person knows about the present and the past, the more fragile his hopes for a bright future become” (Sigmund Freud).

Sayings about time: the wonderful world of watches

In conclusion, here are a few more sayings about the passage of time, left to us by the great minds of the past. And let the depth of their wisdom become a real find for the inquisitive minds of our time.

“People with a sour expression on their faces let thousands of hours pass by, forgetting to enjoy them. And then, with the advent of old age, they remember them with sadness” (A. Schopenhauer).
“A mediocre person thinks about how to kill time. A talented person strives to use it correctly” (A. Schopenhauer).
“Only time can heal all wounds” (Menander).
“Life seems long if it is filled with something important. Therefore, let us measure it by actions, and not by the hours that have passed” (Seneca).
“If time is the most precious thing, then wasting it is the greatest crime.”

Every age has its advantages, and youth with its hidden strengths has especially many of them. Those who care about the future are most concerned about the younger generation.

We vainly dwell in thought in times that no longer exist, and without reflection we miss the present.

A person’s age is expressed not by the number written in the passport, but by the youth of the heart, by how hot it beats in a person’s chest. Old age begins from the moment when a person loses contact with the younger generation, when he prevents the young from moving forward. N. Hikmet

And really, what is the difference between an old man and a child, except that the former is wrinkled and has more days since birth? The same white hair, toothless mouth, short stature, addiction to milk, tongue-tiedness, talkativeness, stupidity, forgetfulness, rashness. In short, they are similar to each other in everything.
