Time – Silent Songs of Sonsnow

Time’s always moving on. Nothing can stop it. The question is whether we use our time well or not. We can’t do anything about the past, but what happens in the future depends on what we do now. We can create a happier future by remembering that in being human we are all the same.” His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama
