He was invited back to write a short story for the ""Deep Space Nine"" anniversary anthology ""Prophecy and Change"" () in 2003. His story, ""The Calling"", followed up on the events portrayed in ""A Stitch in Time"". ""A Stitch in Time"" was re-released in 2010 in Germany with an alternative cover.

No one ever lamented, upon seeing his unshod horse, that the kingdom would eventually fall because of it.

Other times, a proverb appears at the end of a story, summing up a moral to the story, frequently found in Aesop's Fables, such as ""Heaven helps those who help themselves"" from ""Hercules and the Wagoner"". Proverbs have also been used strategically by poets. Sometimes proverbs (or portions of them or anti-proverbs) are used for titles, such as ""A bird in the bush"" by Lord Kennet and his stepson Peter Scott and ""The blind leading the blind"" by Lisa"

"Tempus fugit Tempus fugit is a Latin phrase, usually translated into English as ""time flies"". The expression comes from line 284 of book 3 of Virgil's ""Georgics"", where it appears as ""fugit"" ""inreparabile"" ""tempus"": ""it escapes, irretrievable time"". The phrase is used in both its Latin and English forms as a proverb that ""time's a-wasting"". ""Tempus fugit"", however, is typically employed as an admonition against sloth and procrastination (cf. ""carpe diem"") rather than a motto in favor of licentiousness (cf. ""gather ye rosebuds while ye may""); the English form is often merely descriptive: ""time flies like the wind"", ""time flies"

One last image to take note of is the fact that the only way to defy time is by creating new virtues and beauties. And to do this, Shakespeare tells the young man, is by creating descendants. This fact is shown in the volta, the last two lines of the sonnet, when Shakespeare says, ""And nothing 'gainst time's scythe can make defence, / Save breed to brave him when he takes thee hence.""

"Clocks and sundials would be decorated with mottos such as ""ultima forsan"" (""perhaps the last"" [hour]) or ""vulnerant omnes, ultima necat"" (""they all wound, and the last kills""). Even today, clocks often carry the motto ""tempus fugit"", ""time flies."" Mary, Queen of Scots was said to have owned a large watch made in the shape of a silver skull. Economically, their impact was even greater; an awareness that ""time is money"", a limited commodity not to be wasted, also appears during this period.

The amount of sand determines the amount of time that passes as the chamber is emptied.

"such as ""The proof of the pudding sweeps clean"" (p. 109) and ""A stitch in time is as good as a mile"" (p. 97). Because proverbs are so much a part of the language and culture, authors have sometimes used proverbs in historical fiction effectively, but anachronistically, before the proverb was actually known. For example, the novel ""Ramage and the Rebels"", by Dudley Pope is set in approximately 1800. Captain Ramage reminds his adversary ""You are supposed to know that it is dangerous to change horses in midstream"" (p. 259), with another allusion to the same proverb three pages later."

"Once upon a time ""Once upon a time"" is a stock phrase used to introduce a narrative of past events, typically in fairy tales and folk tales. It has been used in some form since at least 1380 (according to the ""Oxford English Dictionary"") in storytelling in the English language and has opened many oral narratives since 1600. These stories often then end with ""and they all lived happily ever after"", or, originally, ""happily until their deaths"". The phrase is particularly common in fairy tales for younger children, where it is almost always the opening line of a tale. It"

Bennett wrote that time is the most precious of commodities. He said that many books have been written on how to live on a certain amount of money each day. And he added that the old adage ""time is money"" understates the matter, as time can often produce money, but money cannot produce more time. Time is extremely limited, and Bennett urged others to"
"child and thereby protect himself from reproach by preserving his beauty against Time's destruction. Sonnet 2 begins with a military siege metaphor, something that occurs often in sonnets and poetry — from Virgil (‘he ploughs the brow with furrows’) and Ovid (‘furrows which may plough your body will come already’) to Shakespeare’s contemporary, Drayton, “The time-plow’d furrows in thy fairest field.” The image is used here as a metaphor for a wrinkled brow. Trenches are also carved into a field when a farmer plows, and the agricultural connotation is touched on two lines later with the image of worthless weeds."
"time a most grievous sin (""one most hainous crime""): It must ""carve not with thy hours my love's fair brow"". In associating crime and wrinkles Shakespeare has drawn on Ovid again, ""de rugis crimina multa cadunt"" ('from wrinkles many crimes are exposed' from ), rendered by Christopher Marlowe as ""wrinckles in beauty is a grieuous fault"". The hours must not etch into the beloved's brow any wrinkle (compare Sonnet 63, ""When hours have .. fill'd his brow / With lines and wrinkles""). Nor must time's ""antique pen,"" both its 'ancient' and its 'antic' or crazy pen, ""draw ... lines there""."

"the stockpile of bait that has been prepared. In other words, the balance between work and maintenance. Fish or cut bait Fish or cut bait is a common English language colloquial expression, dating back to the 19th-century United States, that refers to division of complementary tasks. The use of this expression has expanded over time, sometimes including the ideas of swift decision-making (to act or not to act), and cautions against procrastination and/or indecisiveness. The exact origin is unknown. The expression may have first appeared in texts in the mid-19th century United States, and derives from the act of fishing."

It is considered by some to be the final sonnet of the initial procreation sequence. The sonnet addresses time directly, as it allows time it's great power to destroy all things in nature, but the poem forbids time to erode the young man's fair appearance.

"Quality time Quality time (QT) is an informal reference to time spent with close family, partners or friends that is in some way important, special, productive or profitable. It is time that is set aside for paying full and undivided attention to the person or matter at hand. It may also refer to time spent performing some favorite activity. ""Quality time"" (""noun phrase"") is a relatively new expression, in use since the 1970s.

"Sonnet 65 Sonnet 65 is one of 154 sonnets written by the English playwright and poet William Shakespeare. It is a member of the Fair Youth sequence, in which the poet expresses his love towards a young man. This sonnet is a continuation of Sonnet 64, and is an influential poem on the aspect of Time's destruction. Shakespeare also offers an escape from Time's clasp in his end couplet, suggesting that the love and human emotion he has used through his writing will test Time and that through the years the black ink will still shine bright. Shakespeare begins this"

It is the final member of the Fair Youth sequence, in which the poet shows how Time and Nature coincide. O you, my lovely boy, who hold in your power Time's hour-glass and his sickle—you who wane as you grow older and in that show your friends withering as you yourself grow up: if Nature, sovereign mistress over chaos, as you go onwards will ever pluck you back, she keeps you to demonstrate her power to hold up time.

Opposite this, on the left-hand tower is a clock with only an hour hand. The garden façade is in the Louis XII style: a mixture of late Gothic and early Renaissance. The stone pediments of the dormer windows and bases of windows with linenfold panels are pure Gothic. The most beautiful example of this"
