“Tobacco, coffee, alcohol, hashish, prussic acid, strychnine, are weak dilutions. The surest poison is time.”

“This time, like all times, is a very good one, if we but know what to do with it.”

“Life is short, but there is always time enough for courtesy.”

“Manners require time, and nothing is more vulgar than haste.”

“The influence of the senses has, in most men, overpowered the mind to the degree that the walls of time and space have come to look real and insurmountable; and to speak with levity of these limits is, in the world, the sign of insanity. Yet, time and space are but inverse measures of the force of the soul.”

“Little minds have little worries, big minds have no time for worries.”
