Wasting time changes the nature of time. And the heart is stilled.

About This Quote

This quote by Robert Louis Stevenson makes a great point that time is something that we can never get back. There is always a price to pay for the things we do in life and time is no different. When we waste time doing things that don’t help us, we give up a part of our life in return.
