What is your favourite horological quote?

Mine is

"The clock of life is wound but once, and no man has the power to tell just when the hands will stop. Now is the only time you actually own the time, Place no faith in time, for the clock may soon be still for ever."

By my pal Robbie Smith.

What’s yours?

Oscar Wilde has some superb quotes ….

He was always late on principle, his principle being that punctuality is the thief of time.”

Or an AD I visited - of course I’ll add you to the list …

“Time is money” always stuck out to me.

So does “time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time”
