ONE WHO WAITS: There are those who believe that time is a wheel turning forever.
Which would mean that your moment will surely come. Then, there are those who believe
that time is a river. Which, if that’s true, it’s possible that your moment has already flowed by.
ED: Which one do you think it is?
ONE WHO WAITS: Ah. I think that time is just time.
Geoffrey Neighor, Northern Exposure, Duets, 1993

What you can do, or dream you can do, begin it; boldness has genius, power and magic in it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

the tree is the real thing. Abraham Lincoln

The sea does not reward those who are too anxious, too greedy, or too impatient.
To dig for treasures shows not only impatience and greed, but lack of faith. Patience,
patience, patience, is what the sea teaches. Patience and faith. One should lie empty,
open, choiceless as a beach–waiting for a gift from the sea. Anne Morrow Lindberg

In the struggle between the stone and the water, in time, the water wins. Chinese Proverb

Learn to limit yourself, to content yourself with some definite thing, and some definite work; dare to be what you are, and learn to resign with a good grace all that you are not and to believe in your own individuality. Henri-Frédéric Amiel
