Please, I would like a Latin translation to english...

The "ticks away" part is a problem.
The Romans only had sundials and water-clocks.
And, of course, neither of those ticked.

HOC NOSCE ANTE OMNIA
KNOW THIS BEFORE ALL THINGS

Thank you very much for your time George.
May I ask if there's any similiar time e expression that says time is running out because Time/ Chronos devours your life.
Something like this, Devouring Time, dropping a piece of grain each second...
The idea if that matters is to inscribe that into a tattoo above or under a hourglass. I have seen that latin phare above one and below I was thinking to add either Time tick-ticks away or Life tick-ticks away... but I don't like the mix, would be better either full english or full latin. Is there any near expression for ''ticking''? Even if it's for the sound of grain falling into the sand.
One last question if you don't mind, How fond are you to old english?

The only other Latin phrase that comes to mind is tempus fugit (time flies).

"Old English"?
Like Beowulf?
