Ingiliz sair ve teolog Richard Baxter'in dogum yildonumu (12 Kasim 1615)
"Zamana buyuk saygi duy; altin ya da gumusunu harcamamaya dikkat etmekten ziyade vaktini hic bosa harcamamaya itina goster: Eglencelere, ziyafetlere, bos laflara, faydasiz dostlara, uykuya yenik duserseniz onlar vaktinizi calmaya calisan ayartici olurlar, ona gore dikkatinizi artirin ve onlarin karsisinda azimle durun. Hirsizlardan ve soygunlardan kacmaya calistiginizdan daha ziyade vaktini calabilecek kisilerden, islerden ve hayat tarzindan kacinmaya ugras."
"Keep up a high esteem of time; and be every day more careful that you lose none of your time, than you are that you lose none of your gold or silver: and if vain recreations, dressings, feastings, idle talk, unprofitable company, or sleep, be any of them temptations to rob you of any of your time, accordingly heighten your watchfulness and firm resolutions against them. Be not more careful to escape thieves and robbers, than to escape that person or action, or course of life, that would rob you of your time."
