"God made everything out of nothing, but the nothingness shows through." "A poem is never finished, only abandoned." More In Time "Don’t be a time manager, be a priority manager. Cut your major goals into bite-sized pieces. Each small priority or requirement on the way to ultimate goal become a mini goal in itself."― Denis Waitley "A schedule defends from chaos and whim. It is a net for catching days. It is a scaffolding on which a worker can stand and labor with both hands at sections of time."― Annie Dillard "Tired mothers find that spanking takes less time than reasoning and penetrates sooner to the seat of the memory."― Will Durant
