Time is the only critic without ambition.

Summary

This quote refers to time being a constant and impartial observer of our actions and accomplishments. It suggests that time does not have personal objectives or desires, and therefore, it serves as a objective evaluator of our endeavors without any bias. Unlike human critics who may have their own intentions or agendas, time remains neutral and simply passes by, revealing the true impact and value of our actions over a period. In this sense, the quote emphasizes the inevitability and ultimate judgment of time.
