Your mastery depends on focus, patience and practice. Not on luck.

Robin Sharma

My son, observe the postage stamp! Its usefulness depends upon its ability to stick to one thing until it gets there.

Josh Billings

This is what you shall do; Love the earth and sun and the animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people.

Walt Whitman

Almost everything is outside of your control. You may take all the right actions and fail. You may take no action and win. All you can do is put yourself is positions to win. Be consistent. Patience will eventually get luck on your side.

Crypto Seneca

You can learn many things from children. How much patience you have, for instance.

Franklin P. Jones

Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better to take things as they come along with patience and equanimity.

Carl Jung
