Don’t waste time learning the tricks of the trade. Instead, learn the trade.
Time is free, but it’s priceless. You can’t own it, but you can use it. You can’t keep it, but you can spend it. Once you’ve lost it you can never get it back.
There is no time like the present for postponing what you ought to be doing.
Take time to deliberate; but when the time for action arrives, stop thinking and go in.
Action and care will in time wear down the strongest frame, but guilt and melancholy are poisons of quick dispatch.
A lawyer’s time and advice are his stock in trade.
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness . . . it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair . . . in short, the period was so far like the present period . . .
Our birthdays are feathers in the broad wing of time.
It takes a long time to become young.
