Impatience robs us of a great deal of joy, and it prevents us from enjoying peace of mind and peace of heart. If we can find ways to deal with it, we can get so much more out of our time. We don't have that much time on this planet, but when we think about it, we have a lot of time. Let's make the wait enjoyable. Experience has taught me this, that we undo ourselves by impatience.
Misfortunes have their life and their limits, their sickness and their health.
For no one does life drag more disagreeably than for him who tries to speed it up. There's more to life than increasing its speed.
