About This Quote

Time is the one immaterial object which we cannot influence—neither speed up nor slow down, add to nor diminish--it is an imponderably valuable gift. The quote above is taken from a letter written by Albert Einstein to his wife, Elsa. It illustrates how he viewed time as one of the most precious gifts that we could possibly receive. It also depicts how much he valued his family. He knew that time was very precious; he knew that it was finite; and he also knew that it would be passed on to him even though he would never be able to do anything with it.
