Time is like the Mississippi River. It only flows in one direction. You can never go back.

About This Quote

When we think about time, we often think about how we can’t go back and change things. The moment we make a mistake, we’re stuck with that mistake and there’s nothing we can do to alter that mistake. We can’t just go back in time to undo something that has already happened. But, time is like the Mississippi River.

It only flows in one direction. You can never go back. When you spend time with someone special, there is no way you can ever go back and spend more time with them.

You can spend more time with them later, but you cannot spend the same amount of time with them again.
