Nachman Goldman once said that he always tried to be late for a Jewish meeting....but never succeeded.  -Nahum Sarna It may be fashionable to be late but it does not respect the others who make the effort to come on time.  It is the path of the just to always consider others.

Sew What

Sick Wife: "I gave my burial garments to Yankel the tailor, to sew them for me." Husband: "What! You gave them to Yankel the tailor!  Don't you know that fellow keeps a piece of work for weeks!" Sometimes it is good to be late.

On Time

As Saint Augustine said, “ Ask me what time is and I know.   Ask me to define it, I cannot." But as Zuckermandel says; “ Ask me to define time and I can.   Ask me to be on time, I cannot.”   -- Byron Sherwin

What is Hell?

“Hell begins on the day when God grants us a clear vision of all that we might have achieved, of all the gifts we have wasted, of all that we might have done which we did not do…. For me, the conception of hell lies in two words: ‘too late’.” –Gian-Carlo Menotti
