Words: Gentleman's Journal
The one thing that almost every person the world over wishes they had more of (bar money, probably), is time.

Time-management is the key to success, as you should all know, and have enough hours in the day shouldn’t even become and issue when you’re managing your time right. So look no further, gentlemen, than these essential quotes to inspire you to leave your life better – and to stay in control of your future.
