Patience is a byproduct of growth - we can bide our time when it is the time of our growth. There is no patience in acquisition or in the pursuit of power and fame. Nothing is so impatient as the pursuit of a substitute for growth.
Men weary as much of not doing the things they want to do as of doing the things they do not want to do.
The greatest weariness comes from work not done.
Our sense of power is more vivid when we break a man's spirit than when we win his heart.
Sometimes we feel the loss of a prejudice as a loss of vigor.
It still holds true that man is most uniquely human when he turns obstacles into opportunities.
