Summary

This quote emphasizes the fleeting nature of time. It suggests that within a single day, two precious hours pass by unnoticed, composed of valuable minutes that are comparable to diamonds. It highlights the importance of appreciating and making the most of every moment, as once they have passed, they can never be retrieved. It serves as a reminder to prioritize and treasure time, as it is a resource that cannot be replenished or regained once lost.
