Lost wealth may be replaced by industry, lost knowledge by study, lost health by temperance or medicine, but lost time is gone forever.

Samuel Smiles

In a dog's world, only three states existed: "now," "in a while," and "forever." If someone left, he was gone "forever," and when he returned they rejoiced as much as if he were back from the dead precisely because he'd been gone "forever.

Mercedes Lackey

If we are forever yearning for more time, we are forever discounting what is offered.

Julia Cameron

Our priorities are most visible in how we use our time. Someone has said, “Three things never come back—the spent arrow, the spoken word, and the lost opportunity.” We cannot recycle or save the time allotted to us each day. With time, we have only one opportunity for choice, and then it is gone forever.

Dallin H. Oaks

Money you lose you can always make back. But even five minutes of time lost is gone forever.

James Altucher

A good name is seldom regained. When character is gone, all is gone, and one of the richest jewels of life is lost forever.

Josiah Johnson Hawes

Rest forever, tired heart. The final illusion has perished. The one we believed eternal is gone. Just like that. Out the door desire follows hope. Rest forever. Enough throbbing. Nothing deserves your attention nor is the earth worth a sigh. Bitterness and boredom is life, nothing else ever, and the world is mud. Quiet now. Despair for the last time. Fate gives us dying as a gift. Now turn from the hills, the ugly hidden power which rules for the common evil and the infinite vanity of it all.

Giacomo Leopardi

Yesterday is gone forever. Make the most of today and tomorrow if you wish to make up for lost time.

Napoleon Hill

Only what we have lost forever do we possess forever. Only when we have drunk from the river of darkness can we truly see. Only when our legs have rotted off can we truly dance. As long as there is death, there is hope

Brother Theodore

When I was a child, books were everything. And so there is in me, always, a nostalgic, yearning for the lost pleasure of books. It is not a yearning that one ever expects to be fulfilled.

Diane Setterfield

There is only one Army in which you serve. When that identity is gone, it is gone forever.

Stanley A. McChrystal

Enthusiasm — real grassroots enthusiasm — trumps money, trumps endorsements, trumps everything.

Eric Garcetti

The mind is still haunted with its old unconscious ways; it broods on lost authorities; and the yearning, the deep and hollowing yearning for divine volition and service is with us still.

Julian Jaynes

But that was the best time of my life, and only now that it has gone from me forever -- only now do I realize it.

Natalia Ginzburg

[People] might have a different word for the yearning of the heart and the yearning of the spirit that is looking for what I call "God," it still is the same thing. It is the heart's yearning to know the origin of its mystery. It's a heart's yearning to know the power of the divine in each of our lives. It's a heart's yearning to be connected to that.
