TIME - Use 時間

We speak of spending time, the Bible speaks of buying it.

我們說使用時間，聖經則是說購買時間。

Give me a Christian that counts his time more precious than gold.

Joseph Alleine

給我一位看時間勝過黃金的基督徒。

Life is too short for us to do everything we want to do; but it is long enough for us to do everything God wants us to do.

生命對想做每一件事的我們而言是太短了；但若是要做上帝要我們做的每一件事情則是綽綽有餘。

Spend your time in nothing which you know must be repented of; in nothing on which you might not pray for the blessing of God; in nothing which you could not review with a quiet conscience on your dying bed; in nothing which you might not safely and properly by found doing if death should surprise you in the act.

Richard Baxter

使用時間時不要讓自己後悔；不要沒有祈求上帝賜福；不要在臨死之前不願回顧；不要在死亡猝然臨到時不覺得平安及正確。

Time is not yours to dispose of as you please; it is a glorious talent that men must be accountable for as well as any other talent.

Thomas Brooks

時間不是可以隨你喜歡使用的；時間是人們必須視同其他才幹使用的一種榮耀的才幹。

I count that hour lost in which I have done no good by my pen or tongue.

John Bradford

我把筆和言語所做無益的事視為時間的損失。

There is nothing puts a more serious frame into a man's spirit than to know the worth of his time.

Thomas Brooks

再也沒有比知道自己時間的價值更需要在內心佔有一重要位置的。

Those to whom God has taught the value of time feel that it has little need to be 'killed'; it goes away from us all too quickly without that.

Robert Johnstone

那些從上帝明白時間價值的人從來都不需要殺時間；因為時間對他們而言稍縱即逝。

The years is made up of minutes. Let these be watched as having been dedicated to God. It is in the sanctification of the small that the hallowing of the large is secure.

G. Campbell Morgan

歲月是由分秒組成。讓我們視時間為已奉獻與上帝。分秒的聖潔確保歲月的聖潔。

Great men never complain about the lack of time. Alexander the Great and John Wesley accomplished everything they did in twenty-four hour days.

Fred Smith

偉人從不埋怨時間不夠。亞歷山大與約翰衛斯理同樣在一天廿四小時的時間中完成每一件事情。

I do not have time to be in a hurry.

John Wesley

我可沒時間讓我匆忙行事。

Those who make the worst use of their time are the first to complain of its shortness.

Jean e La Bruyere

最不善於利用時間的人，最先抱怨時間短促。
