“The very important thing you should have is patience.”

“Come what may, all bad fortune is to be conquered by endurance.”

“What may not be altered is made lighter by patience.”

“This is one more piece of advice I have for you: don't get impatient. Even if things are so tangled up you can't do anything, don't get desperate or blow a fuse and start yanking on one particular thread before it's ready to come undone. You have to realize it's going to be a long process and that you'll work on things slowly, one at a time.”

“A leader should be a visionary and have more foresight than an employee.”

“If you've never tried, how will you ever know if there's any chance?”

“Today is cruel. Tomorrow is crueller. And the day after tomorrow is beautiful.”
