Time

Sometimes you wish there was just more time or an extra day in the week or a way to freeze time, but sadly there isn't.

“Time is free, but it's priceless. You can't
own it, but you can use it. You can't keep
it, but you can spend it. Once you've lost it
you can never get it back.”
-Harvey MacKay

“The only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen at once.”
-Albert Einstein

"It's not how much time you spend, but how you spend it that matters".
-What a professor said to me earlier today, not sure who said the original.
