Spend some time with you
I have no time to waste
I am going to run out of time
I can save more time if I do this
Can I have a minute of your time.
The value of time is used to represent the value of money because both are precious. The concrete feeling of the significance of money can be felt for the abstract time. Hence we see time as something important that can "run out" and the we have to "give away" and that we have to "save more of"....
Another metaphor for time is the following
+ "Time is a river", showing that (if we were boats) the water behind us is our past the water in front, is our future and the water under, is our present. In a river the boat will always flow with the current just like time. Though realize that this metaphor is not conveying the value of time like the previous metaphor did, it just described the abstract concept of time.
