A man that is young in years may be old in hours if he have lost no time.

No artist knows in his own lifetime whether what he does will be the slightest good, because it takes at least seventy-five to a hundred years before the thing begins to sort itself out.

Time is the author of authors.

Young people are fitter to invent than to judge; fitter for execution than for counsel; and more fit for new projects than for settled business.

Ask counsel of both timesof the ancient time what is best, and of the latter time what is fittest.
