hadith 8968
Imam Ali (AS) said, How quick the hours pass in the day and how fast the days pass in the month and how quick the months pass in the year and how fast the years pass in the lifetime!
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : ما أسْرَعَ السّاعاتِ فيِ الأيّامِ وَ أسْرَعَ الأيّامَ فيِ الشُّهُورِ وَ أسْرَعَ الشُّهُورَ فِي السَّنَةِ وَ أسْرَعَ السَّنَةَ فِي العُمْرِ

hadith 8975
Imam Ali (AS) said, Verily you are only [the sum total of] a fixed number of days, and every day that passes you by takes a piece of you with it, so reduce your desires and be moderate in your earning.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : إنَّما أنْتَ عَدَدُ أيّام فَكُلُّ يَوْم يَمْضي عَلَيْكَ يَمْضي بِبَعْضِكَ فَخَفِّضْ فيِ الطَّلَبِ وَ أجْمِلْ فِي المُكْتَسَبِ

hadith 9010
Imam Ali (AS) said, Verily time will pass for those who remain [in this world] just as it passed for those gone by. That which has gone shall not return and that which is in it will not remain forever. Its later deeds are the same as the former ones. Its affairs try to excel each another and its banners follow each other. Its companion is never separated from hardship, annihilation, pillage and war.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : إنَّ الدَّهْرَ يَجْري بِالباقينَ كَجَرْيِهِ بِالماضينَ ما يعُودُ ما قَدْ وَلّى وَلايَبْقى سَرْمَداً ما فيهِ آخِرُ فِعالِهِ كَأوَّلِهِ مُتَسابِقَةٌ أُمُورُهُ مُتَظاهِرَةٌ أعْلامُهُ لايَنْفَكُّ مُصاحِبُهُ مِنْ عَناء وَ فَناء وَ سَلَب وَ حَرَب

hadith 9016
Imam Ali (AS) said, Time wears out the bodies, renews hopes, brings death closer and takes aspirations further away.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : اَلدَّهْرُ يُخْلِقُ الأبْدانَ وَ يُجَدِّدُ الآمالَ وَ يُدْنِى المَنِيَّةَ وَ يُباعِدُ الأُمْنِيَّةَ
