"If time be of all things the most precious, wasting time must be the greatest prodigality." ― Benjamin Franklin Topic(s): Time More From Benjamin Franklin "Those who govern, having much business on their hands, do not generally like to take the trouble of considering and carrying into execution new projects. The best public measures are therefore seldom adopted from previous wisdom, but forced by the occasion." "The art of acting consists in keeping people from coughing." "Time is money." More In Time "Time and tide wait for no man."― Geoffrey Chaucer "No woman can be completely happy at any one moment in time. They’re always anticipating the next thing to argue or complain about."― Denis Leary "Honesty is the cruelest game of all, because not only can you hurt someone – and hurt them to the bone – you can feel self-righteous about it at the same time."― Dave Van Ronk
