“Life is always a matter of waiting for the right moment to act.”

“The individual is foolish; the multitude, for the moment is foolish, when they act without deliberation; but the species is wise, and, when time is given to it, as a species it always acts right.”

“If you are always frightened for yourself you can't act, and then life loses its purpose. You just have to tell yourself that, when you get right down to it, you don't matter all that much.”

“In your own mind, you are always right. Every action you take--what you do or say or how you choose to appear--is automatically right the moment you act.”

“Patience is power.
Patience is not an absence of action;
rather it is "timing"
it waits on the right time to act,
for the right principles
and in the right way.”

“Every moment in life is an act of faith”

“It is a common mistake in going to war to begin at the wrong end, to act first, and wait for disaster to discuss the matter.”

“I suppose in the end, the whole of life becomes an act of letting go, but what always hurts the most is not taking a moment to say goodbye.”

“File under "Hard Truths": the creative muse is fiction. If you sit around waiting for the right moment to create, you will die waiting.”

“Life isn't a matter of milestones, but of moments.”
