The English language has many proverbs and sayings about time.

1. Time is money.
Being the thing which is precious almost as same as money with time.
However, I think that I cannot create it like money at time.
Therefore I think that time is more important than money.

I can't understand this sentense.


3.There's no time like the present.
Be careful with now without looking back on a past. Do not regret a past.I think that time does not need to return even if I grieve over a past no matter how much. For example, I persist in we past when one's favorite person died. However, oneself cannot find happiness if particular about a past. I watch more reality and think that I should enjoy now.

4. Fashionable late.
This mean is old-fashioned. I think that middle-aged person having used the old words. I use this words for the person in old clothes. However, we do not have to mind about fashionable late. The reason is because there is not personality by minding the fashion.
