A Time for Everything

"There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens." So reads Ecclesiastes 3:1 in the New International Version of the Bible. Here are two quotations, each of which is an observation on there being a season to everything "and a time to every purpose under the heaven" (The Bible, King James Version). 
Guard well your spare moments. They are like uncut diamonds. Discard them and their value will never be known. Improve them and they will become the brightest gems in a useful life.
     RALPH WALDO EMERSON


. . . There is a season for everything, and we do not notice a given phenomenon except at that season, if, indeed, it can be called the same phenomenon at any other season.
     HENRY DAVID THOREAU
