With every tick of the clock, snips a length off the thread of life. (SSS Vol.12, p. 82)

Life is like a mega-clock. Its three hands indicate the rate at which the days, months and the year are passing.

Hence, before the final hour strikes, every man should realise what his duties are and see that the remaining time is well spent. (SSS Vol.30, p. 67)
