Echoes

Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience.

He that can have patience can have what he will.

Slow and steady wins the race.

Do you have the patience to wait till your mud settles and the water is clear? Can you remain unmoving till the right action arises by itself?

Our patience will achieve more than our force.

It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.

Sitting quietly, doing nothing, spring comes, and the grass grows by itself.

Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.

To do nothing is sometimes a good remedy.

The man who moves a mountain begins by carrying away small stones.

Perseverance is more prevailing than violence; and many things which cannot be overcome when they are together, yield themselves up when taken little by little.

I am a slow walker, but I never walk back.

Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.

Healing is a matter of time, but it is sometimes also a matter of opportunity.

Life is a journey, not a destination.

Never leave that till tomorrow which you can do today.

The only man who makes no mistakes is the man who never does anything.

It is to this law that our souls must adjust themselves, this they should follow, this they should obey. Whatever happens, assume that it was bound to happen, and do not be willing to rail at Nature. That which you cannot reform, it is best to endure, and to attend uncomplainingly upon the God under whose guidance everything progresses; for it is a bad soldier who grumbles when following his commander.

By letting it go it all gets done. The world is won by those who let it go. But when you try and try, the world is beyond the winning.

It seems to be a law of nature, inflexible and inexorable, that those who will not risk cannot win.

No need to hurry. No need to sparkle. No need to be anybody but oneself.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

Time is the friend of the wonderful business, the enemy of the mediocre.

A man who dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life.

If you're going through hell, keep going.
