‘An inch of


gold
cannot buy an

inch of
time’
Chinese proverb

He who every morning plans the transactions of the day and follows


out that plan carries a thread that will guide him through the


labyrinth of the most busy life.The orderly arrangement of his time


is like a ray of light which darts itself through all his occupations.


But where no plan is laid, where the disposal of time is surrendered


merely to the chance of incidents, chaos will soon reign.


Victor Hugo

‘It is not possible


to hold the day. It is


possible to lose it.’


Lines on a Sundial, 1695
