Time lost, as men may see, For nothing may recovered be.

Geoffrey Chaucer

If we lose our Money, it gives us some Concern. If we are cheated or robb'd of it, we are angry: But Money lost may be found; what we are robb'd of may be restored: The Treasure of Time once lost, can never be recovered; yet we squander it as tho' 'twere nothing worth, or we had no Use for it.

Benjamin Franklin

Charles Dickens

I've lost audiences, I've recovered them.

Carlos Fuentes
