Abraham Lincoln - A man watches his pear tree day...
A man watches his pear tree day after day, impatient for the ripening of the fruit. Let him attempt to force the process, and he may spoil both fruit and tree. But let him patiently wait, and the ripe fruit at length falls into his lap. (Abraham Lincoln)
