Time quote wall art
Some lines about time stop you mid-stride: Franklin on lost time, Churchill on long days, or a single sentence that says what a whole book tries to. These antique clock prints put those lines on the wall, each beneath a clock with no hands, so the question is never āwhat time is it?ā but āwhat are you doing with it?ā
There are two sets here: famous quotes about time, and ten lines from our own book. Each set is one instant download, and every design is also sold on its own as a print made to order and shipped worldwide, unframed or framed in oak, black or white.

Choosing a quote about time
Famous name or quiet line? A recognisable name (Franklin, Churchill, Einstein) makes an easy gift, because the person gets it at a glance. The Book I lines are less familiar and more personal: they suit someone who likes to stop and think, and they read well as a series.
One print or a row? One print suits a desk or a narrow wall. For a hallway or above a sofa, three to five prints in matching frames read as a single piece. The Book I set was written to be read in order, so it works especially well as a row or a grid.
Check the attribution. Many quotes about time are credited to the wrong person online. We check each one; our posts on Einstein quotes about time and Benjamin Franklin quotes about time explain what each man actually said.
Printed or download? Choose a single print if you want it made to order, ready to hang and shipped worldwide, framed in oak, black or white on A4. Choose a set if you want several designs at once; itās an instant download you can print at home with our guide to printing digital wall art.
Questions people ask
Where do the Book I lines come from?
They open the ten chapters of Book I, āThe Philosophy of Timeā, in Timeās Richest Harvest. Each chapter starts with one of these lines under a clock with no hands, exactly as on the print.
What size frame do I need?
A standard A4 frame, or a larger frame with a mount. A4 frame size with mount has the measurements.
Can I mix prints from both sets?
Yes. All of them share the same parchment background, clock and gold flourishes, so any combination hangs together.
