A Quote by Samuel Johnson

Life, however short, is made still shorter by waste of time. — © Samuel Johnson
Life, however short, is made still shorter by waste of time.
Short as life is, we make it still shorter by the careless waste of time.
Life in itself is short enough, but the physicians with their art, know to their amusement, how to make it still shorter.
I come from - I came from Wales, and it's a strong, butch society. We were in the war and all that. People didn't waste time feeling sorry for themselves. You had to get on with it. So my credo is get on with it. I don't waste time being soft. I'm not cold, but I don't like being, wasting my time with - life's too short.
Life's too short to be super conservative but it's also too short to make it any shorter. I don't plan on dying early, but at the same time I don't plan on playing it so safe that I'll live to ninety.
The time to work is shorter all the time and if you waste it you ... have committed a sin for which there is no forgiveness.
[No] matter what a waste one has made of one's life, it is ever possible to find some path to redemption, however partial.
Life is short and the older you get, the more you feel it. Indeed, the shorter it is. People lose their capacity to walk, run, travel, think, and experience life. I realise how important it is to use the time I have.
The life of a boxing athlete is short, so I don't have time to waste or time to take tune-up fights or whatever.
Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
Life is too short to waste time on books that end badly
Life is too short to waste time on things that have no lasting significance.
Life is too short, and the time we waste in yawning never can be regained.
I hear what many of you are saying: We don’t have the time, we are busy. Well Nobody Has Time, Everyone Is Busy. In the time it took you to read this post, your life just got a minute shorter. That is precisely why we read (and why some of us write): because life is short and finite, we want more, and literature is the distillation of all those lives we will not lead.
We cannot separate our lives from time. Why is it that we are so extravagant, so thoughtless, in our waste of time, especially in youth, when we cling so tenaciously to life? You cannot separate a wasted hour from the same duration of your life. If you waste your time, you must waste your life. If you improve your time, you cannot help improving your life.
I waste at least an hour every day lying in bed. Then I waste time pacing. I waste time thinking. I waste time being quiet and not saying anything because I'm afraid I'll stutter.
It's up to you how you waste your time and money. I'm staying here to read: life's too short.
