Time (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠an attribute of substance. It is the same as what is also referred to as duration. Duration is remaining in being. It can be exactly the same in cases of both rest and motion, otherwise it would have to be impossible that one body is at rest and another is moving in the same time.

Time (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠nothing added to duration, only a way of thinking it: we measure all durations against the great regular motions that make days and years.

Time (n.) has ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠parts that do not depend on each other: that I exist now does not guarantee I will exist the next moment — something must keep re-creating me.

Time (n.) adds ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠nothing to duration but a mode of thought: two bodies moving for an hour, one fast and one slow, live through the same time.

Time (n.) must ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠be hoarded the more, the greater one's hope of using it well.
