May Nineteenth Success Secret – Baltasar Gracian

May 19, 2018 — Leave a comment

A person who can wait: It marks a great heart, endowed with patience, never to be in undue haste or excited. Be first the master of yourself, and then you will be the master of others. One must journey far through time to get to the core of anything. A prudent waiting brings season to accomplishment and ripeness to what is hidden. The crunch of time accomplishes more than the iron club of Hercules. Even God does not tame with a whip, but with time. A great truth this: Time, and I against any two. Fortune herself crowns patience with the grandest of garlands.
