A Reminder

"The work of Providence is so slow, and our desires so impatient, the work of progress so immense and our means of aiding it so feeble,the life of humanity is so long and that of the individual so brief, that we often only see the ebb of the advancing wave and are thus discouraged. It is History that teaches us to hope."
Robert E. Lee

Yes—all very true.

Sometimes things in life can get trying and impatience is always there, beckoning...at least for me.

I think you have a good range of quotes and I like that part on your blog which says "may I suggest". So polite.
