Probably not what you are really trying to say. Go with the first one, "Time waits for no man." It is part of "Time and tide wait for no man." Here's a discussion of versions and origin theories: https://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/time-and-tide-wait-for-no-one.html And: https://grammarist.com/proverb/time-waits-for-no-man/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
