"Life holds one great but quite commonplace mystery. Though shared by each of us and known to all, seldom rates a second thought. That mystery, which most of us take for granted and never think twice about, is time"

- Michael Ende

About this Quote

This quote by Michael Ende speaks with the secret of time, something that is shared by all of us yet frequently taken for approved. Time is an excellent mystery that is commonplace, yet we seldom give it a second thought. We presume that time will constantly exist, but in reality, it is a finite resource that we must use sensibly. Time is a valuable product that can never be replaced, and it depends on us to take advantage of it. We need to utilize our time to pursue our passions, develop significant relationships, and make a positive influence on the world. Time is a fantastic secret, however it is also a terrific gift that we must treasure and use carefully.
