Echoes

Our patience will achieve more than our force.

He that can have patience can have what he will.

Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.

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

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.

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

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?

Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.

Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience.

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

Relentless toil conquers all.

The drops of rain that fall upon the stone in course of time will wear their way through it.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

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

Energy and persistence conquer all things.

Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.

Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.

Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.

To do nothing is sometimes a good remedy.

Inspiration is a guest that does not always answer the first invitation. Meanwhile we must work, and a self-respecting artist must not fold his hands on the pretext that he is not in the mood. If we wait for the mood, without endeavouring to meet it halfway, we easily become indolent and apathetic. We must be patient, and believe that inspiration will come to those who can master their despondency.

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

The individual investor should act consistently as an investor and not as a speculator.

He who endures, conquers.

You may never know what results come of your actions. But if you do nothing, there will be no result.

Sure I am of this, that you have only to endure to conquer. You have only to persevere to save yourselves, and to save all those who rely upon you. You have only to go right on, and at the end of the road, be it short or long, victory and honor will be found.
