Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet

There is no road too long to the man who advances deliberately and without undue haste; there are no honors too distant to the man who prepares himself for them with patience

 Never contract friendship with a man that is not better than yourself

I have learned that to be with those I like is enough

I think life on Earth must be about more than just solving problems... It's got to be something inspiring, even if it is vicarious

For every minute, the future is becoming the past

 We have always held to the hope, the belief, the conviction that there is a better life, a better world, beyond the horizon

 Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow, it only saps today of its joy

Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding

 Sweet mercy is nobility's true badge
