Proverb of Japan that used "Time"

"時は金なり [=toki-wa-kane-nari ]"

A lot of Japanese are recognizing the English translation of this proverb like this.

"Time is money."

But, an accurate meaning is different from this. "Money" is not limited to money. This "Money" is a meaning "Gold in all the meanings".

Do not waste time.
Execute the thing thought to be good at once.
Inevitability and time change into money if it does so.

In Japan, there is a proverb where these meanings are expressed well.

"善は急げ[=zen-wa-isoge]...As soon as you decide to do something, you need to strike while the iron is hot.
