Time is a created thing. To say 'I don't have time' is like saying, 'I don't want to.'

Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching

Laozi (also Lao-Tzu or Lao-Tze) was a philosopher and poet of ancient China. He is known as the reputed author of the Tao Te Ching and the founder of philosophical Taoism, and as a deity in religious Taoism and traditional Chinese religions. Although a legendary figure, he is usually dated to around the 6th century BCE and reckoned a contemporary of Confucius, but some historians contend that he actually lived during the Warring States period of the 5th or 4th century BCE. A central figure in Chinese culture, Laozi is claimed by both the emperors of the Tang dynasty and modern people of the Li surname as a founder of their lineage.

    الوقت شيء مخلوق. أن تقول "ليس لدي وقت" يعني أن أقول "لا أريد ذلك".

    Zeit ist eine erschaffene Sache. Zu sagen, ich habe keine Zeit, ist wie zu sagen, ich will nicht.

    El tiempo es una cosa creada. decir "no tengo tiempo" es como decir "no quiero".

    le temps est une chose créée. dire «je n'ai pas le temps», c'est comme dire «je ne veux pas».

    waktu adalah hal yang diciptakan. mengatakan 'saya tidak punya waktu' sama seperti mengatakan, 'saya tidak mau.'

    il tempo è una cosa creata. dire "non ho tempo" è come dire "non voglio".

    時間は創造されたものです。 「時間がない」と言うのは、「したくない」と言っているようなものです。

    o tempo é uma coisa criada. dizer 'não tenho tempo' é como dizer 'não quero'.

    thời gian là một thứ được tạo ra nói 'tôi không có thời gian' cũng giống như nói, 'tôi không muốn.'

    时间是创造的东西。说“我没有时间”就像在说“我不想”。
