Wild animals never kill for sport. Man is the only one to whom the torture and death of his fellow creatures is amusing in itself.<br /> ~James A. Froude

Time is such a simple thing
It comes and it goes
Second by second
A moment passes before your eyes
You wonder where it's gone
You look away at any moment
The time just slips on by
You waste any moment
You might never get that chance again
Never waste a precious moment
Time will pass you by

You can't ever get back time you wasted or moments you let pass you, so never take time for granted.
