Oliver Herford Quotes

We tried not to age, but time had its rage.

Time is not kind to everything.

Time marks us while we are marking time.

Every time I think that I'm getting old, and gradually going to the grave, something else happens.

How terrible a thing time is.

It ends all things: birds, trees, flowers, mountain tops, and business; it grinds stones to sand, and as terrible as it is, and it's the most beautiful thing we have in our lives - time.

We can change everything but we can't stop time.

Time moves on for everyone.

You can't halt time.

The brief span of our poor unhappy life to its final hour Is hastening on; and while we drink and call for gay wreaths, Perfumes, and young girls, old age creeps upon us, unperceived.

Time takes it all, whether you want it to or not.

Time is the subtle thief of youth.

Alas! the fleeting years, how they roll on!

All the tragedies which we can imagine return in the end to the one and only tragedy: the passage of time.
