Times of Our Lives

“Time, which changes people,
does not alter the image we have of them.”
– Marcel Proust

“Lost time is never found again.”
– Benjamin Franklin

“Time has a wonderful way of showing
us what really matters.”
– Margaret Peters

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.
– Harvey MacKay

“With endless time, nothing is special.
With no loss or sacrifice,
we can’t appreciate what we have.”
– Mitch Albom

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

“Time is a created thing.
To say ‘I don’t have time’ is to say
‘I don’t want to.’”
– Lao Tzu

“Time flies over us, but leaves its shadow behind.”

The Lives We Live

The doors we open and close each day decide
the lives we live.
– Flora Whittemore

Doors Are both frame and monument
To our spent time, And too little Has been said Of our coming through and leaving by them.
– Charles Tomlinson

Since the beginning of time,
doors have symbolized both great opportunities and thwarted dreams. The open door is a metaphor for new life, a passage from one stage of life to another, and metamorphosis. Closed doors often represent rejection and exclusion.

O god of hinges, god of long voyages, you have kept faith.
It’s dark in there. You confide yourself to the darkness
You step in.The door swings closed.
– Margaret Atwood

It’s doors I’m afraid of because I can’t see through them.
Its the door opening by itself in the wind I’m afraid of.
– Margaret Atwood, Surfacing

The closing of a door can bring blessed privacy and comfort – the opening terror. Conversely, the closing of a door can be a sad and final thing. The opening a wonderfully joyous moment.
– Andrew Rooney

A door just opened on a street– I, lost, was passing by–
An instant’s width of warmth disclosed And wealth, and company. The door as sudden shut, and I, I, lost, was passing by, Lost doubly, but by contrast most, Enlightening misery.
– Emily Dickinson
