The soul has no assignments, neither cooks
Nor referees: it wastes its time. It wastes its time.
Here in this enclave there are centuries
For you to waste: the short and narrow stream
Of life meanders into a thousand valleys
Of all that was, or might have been, or is to be.
The books, just leafed through, whisper endlessly.

Foo, a beautiful gal wastes her time gracin' up this swamp.
Walt Kelly
Many Christians base the belief of a soul and God upon the Bible. Strictly speaking, there is no such book. To make the Bible, sixty-six books are bound into one volume. These books are written by many people at different times, and no one knows the time or the identity of any author. Some of the books were written by several authors at various times. These books contain all sorts of contradictory concepts of life and morals and the origin of things. Between the first and the last nearly a thousand years intervened, a longer time than has passed since the discovery of America by Columbus.
Clarence Darrow
What I'm continuing to do is cutting out the equation that wastes the most amount of time — and that is working within the system.
Rod Coronado
Never attempt to teach a pig to sing. It wastes your time and annoys the pig. (see also English proverbs)
Robert A. Heinlein
Go, lovely rose!
Tell her that wastes her time and me
That now she knows,
When I resemble her to thee,
How sweet and fair she seems to be.Edmund Waller
