1. Time is money.
It means that time is important as much as money. Since time is invaluable, we must not waste it, but we should treat it like money.
2. A stitch in time saves nine.
It means that if we did something in right time, we won't get into trouble so much. However if we procrastinate to solve the small problem, it could be worse and worse.
3.There's no time like the present.
It means any time is important, but now is the most important for you. Therefore, if you thought about doing anything, you should do it right now because now is the right time to do it.
4.Let's meet at 4. If I'm not there by 5, leave without me at 6, and I'll be here at 7.
I'm not sure about this. It's just saying to wait an hour after each established time.
They are proverbs/sayings that tell us the importance of time. They suggest that now is only for now, and our life is not forever, so you must not waste any time and any moment.
Finally, we have a proverb about time. It's "Isogaba Maware," Make haste slowly in English. It means that we'd better take a roundabout course than go the shortest way to avoid danger. Though we know the importance of time, we could get into trouble if we hurry. Going fast is not always give us success. That might sound easygoing, but it's actually wise way to live.
