| Nov 4th "Time is not Money" |
|
Dear one, As the end of the calendar year draws nearer we all seem to get frantic about achieving outcomes in the remaining time before Christmas/ New Year. Do this do that , buy this buy that... on the program today we look at Time Versus Money. Take it easy baby! Spend your time wisely, lovingly, compassionately......because Time is (NOT) money What is the meaning and origin of the phrase: time is money TIME IS MONEY - "While this familiar maxim may seem like an invention of our hectic and impersonal modern society, it actually comes to us from the ancient Greeks. Antiphon, an orator who wrote speeches for defendants in court cases, recorded the earliest known version of the saying in 'Maxim' (c. 430 BC) as 'The most costly outlay is time.' Centuries later, the notion of time's value appeared in English as 'Tyme is precious,' which was included in Sir Thomas Wilson's 'A Discourse Upon Vsurye' (1572) and John Fletcher's 'The Chances' (1647). A century after Fletcher, Benjamin Franklin rendered the exact working of the current version in 'Advice to a Young Tradesman' (1748), and the saying afterward came into wide use." From "Wise Words and Wives' Tales: The Origins, Meanings and Time-Honored Wisdom of Proverbs and Folk Sayings Olde and New" by Stuart Flexner and Doris Flexner (Avon Books, New York, 1993).

Money is human happiness in the abstract; and so the man who is no longer capable of enjoying such happiness in the concrete, sets his whole heart on money. ~Arthur Schopenhauer, Parerga and Paralipomena, 1851 They deem me mad because I will not sell my days for gold; and I deem them mad because they think my days have a price. ~Kahlil Gibran If women didn't exist, all the money in the world would have no meaning. ~Aristotle Onassis I cannot afford to waste my time making money. ~Louis Agassiz The real measure of your wealth is how much you'd be worth if you lost all your money. ~Anon When I have money, I get rid of it quickly, lest it find a way into my heart. ~John Wesley Waste your money and you're only out of money, but waste your time and you've lost a part of your life. ~Michael Leboeuf Life shouldn't be printed on dollar bills. ~Clifford Odets
