| Quote:Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity.[Henry Van Dyke] Quote:I think that a young state, like a young virgin, should modestly stay at home, and wait the application of suitors for an alliance with her; and not run about offering her amity to all the world; and hazarding their refusal. Our virgin is a jolly one; and tho at present not very rich, will in time be a great fortune, and where she has a favorable predisposition, it seems to me well worth cultivating.[Ambrose Bierce] Quote:Neither a wise man nor a brave man lies down on the tracks of history to wait for the train of the future to run over him.[Dwight Eisenhower] Quote:Destiny is no matter of chance.

The opposite of talking is waiting.[Fran Lebowitz] Quote:Some national parks have long waiting lists for camping reservations.

Do not wait for the last judgement, it takes place every day.[Albert Camus] Quote:A grave is a place where the dead are laid to await the coming of the medical student.[Ambrose Bierce] Quote:We should be taught not to wait for inspiration to start a thing. Action always generates inspiration. Inspiration seldom generates action. [Jack London] Quote:Greetings on this most exceedingly beautiful spring morning. A morning swollen with new life, a morning on which, if I had the voice, I would let loose with song. It's hard to believe just a few short weeks ago we were eating our cornflakes in the wintery dark. Now, well it's still kind of dim out there, but I can see the golden glow of Apollo's chariot waiting in the wings, about to make its entrance. Winter's on the lam, no doubt. [Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider] Quote:I'd rather get my brains blown out in the wild than wait in terror at the slaughterhouse. [Craig Volk] Quote:Destiny is no matter of chance. It is a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved. [William Jennings Bryan] Quote:You have to recognize when the right place and the right time fuse and take advantage of that opportunity. There are plenty of opportunities out there. You can't sit back and wait. [General Douglas MacArthur] Quote:While grief is fresh, every attempt to divert only irritates. You must wait till it be digested, and then amusement will dissipate the remains of it. [Samuel Johnson] Quote:Do not envy a sinner; you don't know what disaster awaits him. [Bible] Quote:Inspiration is wonderful when it happens, but the writer must develop an approach for the rest of the time... The wait is simply too long.
