Nature, time and patience are three great physicians.
Temporis ars medicina fere est. Time is generally the best medicine.
Time mends all, ends all things earthly.
They say that “Time assuages” - Time never did assuage - An actual suffering strengthens As Sinews do, with age - Time is a Test of Trouble - But not a Remedy - If such it prove, it prove too There was no Malady
Time heals all things but one: Time.
Time discovers truth. Time heals what reason cannot.
Age, with shamefaced relief, has learned the solvent quality of Time. It is this quality which makes possible the contemplation of certain embarrassing heavenly reunions.
Where reason fails, time oft has worked a cure.
The most important thing was that time had passed, pouring thousands of soothing seconds across the island. People need time to deal with the now before it runs away and becomes the then.
See how time makes all grief decay.
