Quote by John Arthorne

He who lets time rule him will live the life of a slave.

He who lets time rule him will live the life of a slave.

Summary

This quote suggests that individuals who allow time to control their lives will feel like they have no freedom or control over their decisions and actions. If one becomes too consumed and constrained by the constraints of time, they may lose sight of their personal goals and aspirations, merely focusing on meeting deadlines and being punctual. Thus, the quote emphasizes the importance of managing and prioritizing time effectively to ensure a fulfilled and autonomous existence rather than living in subservience to the demands of time.
