Description
Most of this was written in 2001 for a Christmas card I created. I was talking to a friend online and somehow I mentioned that I had written something on time and she was interested in reading it, it took my 2 days to find it in my files of various works, and all I found was the ruff draft so I typed it up again editing it with a few added lines relating to how I view time. If you have time please comment on this “Time Idiom Poem” and add your own quotations in the comments, that is if you believe I have left out a Time phrase or maybe I never heard that one. Thank you for your time and blessings of Time I bequeath to all of you. LP

The picture I used was taken 8-28-07 watching the lunar eclipse all night taking photos with my Olympus camera.

P.S as the song goes; “Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta Too Much Time on My Hands” STYX
Naw not me, I just had too much fun with the usage of time and I hope you had fun understanding the fundamentals of time. Are you interested in Quotes of Time? Read a few here. LP

The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function.
F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896 - 1940), "The Crack-Up" (1936)

So little time and so little to do.
Oscar Levant (1906 - 1972)

Half our life is spent trying to find something to do with the time we have rushed through life trying to save.
Will Rogers (1879 - 1935), New York Times, Apr. 29, 1930

You can fool too many of the people too much of the time.
James Thurber (1894 - 1961), New Yorker, Apr. 29, 1939 "The Owl who was God"

A stitch in time would have confused Einstein.

"Nine-tenths of wisdom consists in being wise in time." Roosevelt, Theodore •

"It takes time to save time." Taylor, Joe •

"A stitch in time saves nine.”
If you deal with problems immediately, when they first appear, you will save yourself a lot of money and trouble after. This adage is listed in the 1732 Thomas Fuller's book of proverbs, and was first cited in the United States in the 1787 'Journal of Tour of North America in 1796-1791' by Francis Bally (1774-1844). The word 'nine' was introduced for assonance." From "Random House Dictionary of Popular Proverbs and Sayings" by Gregory Y. Titelman. Assonance means "nine" sounds good in the phrase, I reckon. Basically, the proverb means if you sew up your hem when it first starts to unravel, it's not a big problem. If you wait and don't take care of it, the whole hem will come undone. THEN you'll have a lot of stitching to do.

The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time.
Abraham Lincoln (1809 - 1865)

Life is like an ice-cream cone, you have to lick it one day at a time.
Charles M. Schulz (1922 - 2000), as "Charlie Brown", Peanuts, cartoon strip

Man on TV: We interrupt this program for several episodes of "One Day at a Time" "Family Guy" (1999)

Now is the time for all good men to come to.
Walt Kelly (1913 - 1973), "Pogo" (comic strip)

Niki Sanders: I know you want to believe in your father... But one day they're going to catch him and send him away for a long time. "Heroes" (2006/II)

Captain Janeway: Time travel. From my first day on the job as captain I promised myself I'd never let myself get caught up in one of these God-forsaken paradoxes. The future's the past, the past is the future. It all gives me a headache. "Star Trek: Voyager" (1995) {Future's End: Part 1 (#3.8)}

Doing a thing well is often a waste of time.
Robert Byrne

I passionately hate the idea of being with it, I think an artist has always to be out of step with his time.
Orson Welles (1915 - 1985)

David Crosby: Just take it one day at a time, and know that I love you. "Simpsons, The" (1989) {Marge in Chains (#4.21)}
