look it in a grammer book
Time and tide wait for no man. The tide is coming in now.

this proverb means time and tide do not wait for anybody.time comes only once in some one,s life and it never stays long
'time & tide wait for no man'
The story that this saying comes from is not a fable but a historical incident. It involved King Canute of Denmark who was also King of (most of) England at the time of his reign.
of course......time does wait for no man in other words, man has no control upon time.....for time is somthing abstract, which mean, we can not grasp it, or even ask it to stop for a while..... it's something out of man's control..... bcz of this, one must grasp opportunity whenever it knocks the door... thanx
At low tide the children collected abalones, their parents cooked the molluscs and sold the shells to a man who made buttons and jewelry from them.
"Time and tide wait for no man." "A stitch in time saves nine." "If you want something done, ask a busy person. The other kind has no time." "Tempus Fugit" (Time flies) "Time flies like the wind, but fruit flies like bananas" [I think I got this Groucho Marx quote right...very clever play on words]
You don't build the stairs, they appear as the tide goes in and out. Wait until another time of day and then they should appear. btw if you get 5 shoal shells and 5 shoal salts then the man will make you a shell bell.
The poor man waited alongside the hill as cars rode passed him ignoring his begging rudely.
Time is free, but it's priceless. You can't own it, but you can use it. You can't keep it, but you can spend it. Once you've lost it you can never get it back.Yes, its sure and certain that time is like a river. As the current of the river flows ahead and never comes back. same is with time. once lost it cant be regained.Its truly said that,"Don't count every hour in the day, make every hour in the day count." we got to be very punctual and studies in our lives about time.The whole world runs along with it.If anyone remains back, he surely will be described as a loser in his life.It goes the same with famous JIm rohns as he says,Time is more valuable than money. You can get more money, but you cannot get more time.Time is like money. every day,hour,minute, second is precious for us.As we spend money wisely,in the same way our time should be spent very cautiously.For this time management is very essential.Another famous maxim goes ,"A stitch in time saves nine". however we always misuse it.its proper utilization is very necessary.A farmer has to harvest his crops on time but if he neglects, the birds will eat those crops or untimely rain may destroy it.A successful man only knows the value of time because he has come up with proper use of time joint with hard work.So, time should not be procrastinated instead every single second should be used carefully.Then only a person will touch the sky of success.time and tide are 2 natural phenomena . they don't wait for anybody. time ticks away . no one can stop it or can command time to stop. tide also rises and falls without caring for any one. the inner meaning is that , time passes away irrespective of whether youy do your work or not. if you waste time, you are the one who fails as the time which is lost does not come back. so don't waste time. do something useful every second you get.
"The man had squandered all his time."
