The superior thing ... was to be late. Lateness showed that serene contempt for the illusion we call time which is so necessary to ensure the respect of others and oneself. Only the servile are punctual.
I hate it when people are late, and I hate being late.
Being on time is a practice I imbibed from my dad. He would be ready with make-up on at least three hours ahead of schedule.
I hate wasting people's time.
When you take of a man's time, you've taken a part of his life.
I do not run late. Growing up on a farm, you're just not late when it's time to do chores or go to work. I grew up Mennonite, and so that work ethic and timeliness was just ingrained in me from a very young age.
Have no mean hours, but be grateful for every hour, and accept what it brings. The reality will make any sincere record respectable.
only when we have a respect for time will we have learned something of the art of living.
When we go out, we have our favorite places, and the great thing about Minnesota is that most Minnesotans are pretty respectful of your time when you're with your family.
I just want to be someone whose opinion you entertain for 60 seconds at a time - but I want other people to be more cognitive of time.
I'm real adamant that, when we have family time scheduled, that we stick to it.
