days

That's the advantage of having lived sixty-five years. You don't feel the need to be impatient any longer.

The world is round and the place which may seem like the end may also be only the beginning.

Hold on hold fast hold out. Patience is genius.

Our toil is sweet with thankfulness Our burden is our boon The curse of earth's gray morning is The blessing of its noon.

Time cools time clarifies no mood can be maintained quite unaltered through the course of hours.

I feel successful when the writing goes well. This lasts five minutes. Once when I was number one on the bestseller list I also felt successful. That lasted three minutes.

Time bears away all things.

Time deals gently only with those who take it gently.

We do not live an equal life but one of contrasts and patchwork now a little joy then a sorrow now a sin then a generous or brave action.

If matters go badly now they will not always be so.

Everyone gets their rough day. No one gets a free ride. Today so far I had a good day. I got a dial tone.

Death is a door life opens.

Some days you tame the tiger. And some days the tiger has you for lunch.

Pain is never permanent.

We undo ourselves by impatience. Misfortunes have their life and their limits their sickness and their health.

If our education had included training to bear unpleasantness and to let the first shock pass until we could think more calmly many an unbearable situation would become manageable and many a nervous illness avoided. There is a proverb expressing this. It says trouble is a tunnel through which we pass and not a brick wall against which we must break our head.

Were it possible for us to see further than our knowledge reaches perhaps we would endure our sadnesses with greater confidence than our joys. For they are moments when something new has entered into us something unknown.

God will wait as long as it takes for us.
