We always talk about having more hours in the day, more days in the month...oh, wait! February has more days in the month this year! The perfect day to look at how we use our time - and be inspired to use it more wisely!
Time is what we want most, but what we use worst. ~ William Penn
Determine never to be idle. No person will have occasion to complain of the want of time who never loses any. It is wonderful how much can be done if we are always doing. ~ Thomas Jefferson
It’s not enough to be busy, so are the ants. The question is, what are we busy about? ~ Henry David Thoreau
Until you value yourself, you will not value your time.
Until you value your time, you will not do anything with it. ~ M. Scott Peck

Great quotes again today, Janet. I borrowed part of the Jobs quote for my blog header. "Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice." Heh, I think my inner voice has been taking on water for years, so what I really need to do is tattoo that on my forehead.
ReplyDeleteI had to put that Steve Jobs' quote in - wow, how many times a day do I forget this? Way too many - always had issues about listening to others' opinions and ignoring my own dreams and desires!
DeleteFunny how when I see or read, "you own inner voice", I automatically think my writing voice and I think of previous work I rewrote to accomodate someone else and lost my 'voice'. As you know, B.E., the discussion of an author's voice fascinates me!
And the Thomas Jefferson one reminded me of "I will act now" - I have that written out and posted around my house!
Wonderful quotes today, Janet! I love the Jobs' quote. And I've often quoted the last one but never knew who to attribute it to. Thanks for posting it so I know Louis E. Boone gets the credit. I haven't had time yet today to look for any additional words of wisdom. LOL
ReplyDeleteSee? Timely topic today!
Ha - I liked the last one, Silver - when I read it, I laughed (you know, in that "omg-that-sounds-a-lot-like-me-nervous-paranoid-laugh")!
DeleteGlad you enjoyed the quotes de jour :)
