The early bird gets the first worm, but the wisest bird gets the fastest one.

The trouble with being punctual is that there's nobody there to appreciate it.

I knew I was going to take the wrong train so I left early.

The surest way to be late is to have plenty of time.

A man who has to be punctually at a certain place at five o'clock has the whole afternoon ruined for him already.

We may assume that we keep people waiting symbolically because we do not wish to see them and that our anxiety is due not to being late, but to having to see them at all.

I've been on a calendar, but never on time.

Unfaithfulness in the keeping of an appointment is an act of clear dishonesty. You may as well borrow a person's money as his time.
