  • You must realize that it is the ordinary way of God’s dealings with us
    that our ideas do not work out speedily and efficiently as we would like
    them to. The reason for this is not only the loving wisdom of God, but
    also the fact that our acts have to fit into a great complex pattern
    that we cannot possibly understand. I have learned over the years that
    Providence is always a whole lot wiser than any of us, and that there
    are always not only good reasons, but the very best reasons for the
    delays and blocks that often seem to us so frustrating and absurd.

  • I’d rather be a could-be if I cannot be an are;
    because a could-be is a maybe who is reaching for a star.
    I’d rather be a has-been than a might-have-been, by far;
    for a might have-been has never been, but a has was once an are.

  • Stick to a task 'til it sticks to you;
    Beginners are many, but enders are few.
    honor, power, place and praise
    Will come, in time, to the person who stays.

    Stick to your task 'til it sticks to you;
    Bend at it sweat at it, smile at it, too.
    For out of the bend and the sweat and the smile
    Will come life’s victories, after awhile.
