Wasting Time

By John Foster

If a person were so foolish as to throw away a valuable piece of money into a pit, or in the sea, he would not literally throw away anything but the metal; but virtually he would throw away whatever best thing it would have purchased, as bread, clothing, refreshments, medicine for the sick, instructive books, etc. Even so, a person wasting time throws away, not the time itself only, but the opportunities and the privileges which that time presents.—John Foster.
