“We teach our child many things I don’t believe in, and almost nothing I do believe in. We teach punctuality, particularly if the enforcement of it disturbs the peace. My father taught me, by example, that the greatest defeat in life was to miss a train. Only after many years did I learn that an escaping train carries away with it nothing vital to my health. Railroad trains are such magnificent objects we commonly mistake them for Destiny.”

“Self discipline, punctuality and time management are very important – for life is short, and every resource you have must be well utilized so that you find enlightenment and liberation – your ultimate goal.”

“You cannot respect someone but disrespect their time.”

“Punctuality is the thief of time.”
