Here’s a list of the 20 greatest quotes (well according to me anyway!) about time passing too quickly.
- “Time does not pass, it continues” – Marty Rubin
- “Our life is made up of time. Our days are measured in hours, our pay measured by those hours, our knowledge is measured by years.

- “Even at 80, I shall say that I am yet to start, for that shall give me the real reason never ever to look back and see what I have done but to look ahead and see the marvelous things I shall be able to do and the distinctive footprints I shall be able live and leave with the very seconds that shall be ahead of me! Life must never be over until all is over!” – Ernest Agyemang Yeboah
