Time moves with hurrying steps. It flies on the swiftest wings and flies faster than the wind. Nothing is faster than the flight of time. Time escapes all and nothing in the world, can overtake it and none can turn it back in its flight. Time can neither be borrowed nor bought.
Misspent time is wasted time.
Health and rank and position and anything and everything lost in the world can be restored and regained. Lost time alone can never be recalled and never be made to return. Time is life and time ill spent is life wasted away. Let me not squander my time. Lead me, Ahura Mazda, to make the best use of the days of my life, that time well spent may lengthen my life, short as it is.
