It is no use crying over spilt milk.
Every tide has its ebb.

Men talk of killing time while time quietly kills them.
Age is a matter of feeling not of years.

The farther backward you can look the farther forward you are likely to see.
No man is rich enough to buy back his past.
Time is the only capital for those who possess nothing but intelligence.
