He said something about how some people consider time and enemy, or a thief of life. But he himself (Picard) sees time as an old friend.

Anybody know the episode or full quote? I’ve searched but the newer series, Picard, is cluttering the results.

    I think you’re thinking of Generations which is why you can’t find it

    Someone once told me that time was a predator that stalked us all our lives. But I rather believe than time is a companion who goes with us on the journey, and reminds us to cherish every moment because they’ll never come again.

      Picard: What we leave behind is not as important as how we’ve lived. After all Number One, we’re only mortal.

      Riker: Speak for yourself sir, I plan to live forever.

    That’s from Generations. It’s at the end of the movie.
