Summary

This quote suggests that time and money are interconnected. While the proverb "time is money" emphasizes the value of time being equivalent to monetary value, the reversed perspective reveals a deeper understanding. It highlights the idea that money represents the amount of time and effort someone has put into earning it. Instead of solely valuing money for its buying power, this quote encourages us to recognize the preciousness of time and consider how we spend it, as it ultimately determines the accumulation of wealth. Time, therefore, becomes a valuable resource that should be managed wisely.

A lot of us first aspired to far-ranging travel and exotic adventure early in our teens; these ambitions are, in fact, adolescent in nature, which I find an inspiring idea...Thus, when we allow ourselves to imagine as we once did, we know, with a sudden jarring clarity, that if we don't go right now, we're never going to do it. And we'll be haunted by our unrealized dreams and know that we have sinned against ourselves gravely.

The war of words is done;The red-lipped cannon speak;The battle has begun.The web your speeches spunTears and blood shall streak;The war of words is done.Smoke enshrouds the sun;Earth staggers at the shriekOf battle new begun.Poltroons and braggarts run:Woe to the poor, the meek!The war of words is done.And hope not now to shunThe doom that dogs the weak,Thunders every gun;Victory must be won.When the red-lipped cannon speak,The war of words is done,The slaughter has begun.
