“Patience! patience! You are always in a hurry, but God is not.”

We must all learn to hear what we do not like. The question is not, ‘Is it pleasant?’ but, ‘Is it true?’

A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.

You will never know the fullness of Christ until you know the emptiness of everything but Christ.

To trust God in the light is nothing, but trust him in the dark-that is faith.

Let the puzzle solve itself.

If failure has the strength to turn your life into bitterness itself, then patience has the strength to turn your life into the sweetest joy. Do not surrender to fate after a single failure. Failure, at most, precedes success.

Reading is important – read between the lines. Don’t swallow everything.

Trust in time it knows everything.

Let nothing disturb thee; Let nothing dismay thee; All things pass; God never changes. Patience attains All that it strives for.

Yet this is the watch by night. Let us all accept new strength, and real tenderness. And at dawn, armed with glowing patience, we will enter the cities of glory.
