Quotes by John Tiffany

Quotes by John Tiffany

Quotes by John Trudell

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of quotes are on the "Time" page?
A mix of reflective and thought-provoking lines that touch on the word "time" — from an observation about the origins of the word "Amen" to a sweeping claim about being part of the last generation of human beings, plus quotes about security, change, and early scientific curiosity encouraged by family.
Are these all serious, philosophical quotes?
Several of them are — the ones about prayer, humanity's future, and how secrets and security change over time all carry a thoughtful, sometimes weighty tone. If you want more of that kind of depth in Hindi, check out Anmol Vachan or Suvichar on this same theme.
Is there a quote here about family or upbringing?
Yes — one describes a parent taking a child to the museum of natural history and encouraging an early interest in science, a nice reminder of how family shapes curiosity. For more along those lines, see Family quotes.
Why would a quote about security relate to "time"?
Because the quote here is really about how things need to change over time — a secret or a security system that's easy to change can adapt, but one that's hard to change becomes a liability as time passes. It's a good example of how "time" quotes often connect to bigger ideas like Change.
How should I use these quotes?
They work well as thoughtful captions or conversation starters — especially if you want to share something that makes people pause and think rather than just a quick line.

A few quotes look further back, considering time on a generational scale rather than a daily one. For nearby reading in Hindi, see Anmol Vachan or Suvichar on this same theme.
