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.
