Quote by Benjamin Franklin

Since thou are not sure of a minute, throw not away an hour.

Since thou are not sure of a minute, throw not away an hour.

Summary

This quote is a reminder to value and make the most of our time. It suggests that since we cannot be certain how much time we have left, we should not waste any portion of it. Each moment is precious and should not be squandered or taken for granted, as even a minute lost is an hour withheld from our lives. It emphasizes the importance of being mindful, productive, and purposeful with our time, as it is a finite resource that we should cherish and optimize.

Hang in there. Hang in there because the greatest quarterbacks complete only six of 10 passes. The best basketball players make only 50% of their shots. The top oil companies, with all their geologists, drill 10 dry holes for every wet one. And even the most successful actors flunk 29 auditions for television commercials before they land one. So, HANG IN THERE.
