Waits Quotes
Everything comes to him who hustles while he waits.
Thomas Edison
The greatest achievement was at first and for a time a dream. The oak sleeps in the acorn, the bird waits in the egg, and in the highest vision of the soul a waking angel stirs. Dreams are the seedlings of realities.
James Allen
A slave is one who waits for someone to come and free him.
Ezra Pound
Man who waits for roast duck to fly into mouth must wait very, very long time.
Jules Renard
He who postpones the hour of living is like the rustic who waits for the river to run out before he crosses.
Horace
The Siren waits thee, singing song for song.
Walter Savage Landor
We live trapped, between the churned-up and examined past and a future that waits for our work.
Anna Freud
Life always waits for some crisis to occur before revealing itself at its most brilliant.
Paulo Coelho
He who waits to do a great deal of good at once will never do anything.
Samuel Johnson
This goin' ware glory waits ye haint one agreeable feetur.
James Russell Lowell
He who waits for the sword to fall upon his neck will surely lose his head.
Stephen R. Donaldson
Love's gift cannot be given, it waits to be accepted.
Rabindranath Tagore
While God waits for his temple to be built of love, men bring stones.
Rabindranath Tagore
Ideally a painter (and, generally, an artist) should not become conscious of his insights without taking the detour through his reflective processes, and incomprehensibly to himself, all his progress should enter so swiftly into the work that he is unable to recognize them in the moment of transition. Alas, the artist who waits in ambush there, watching, detaining them, will find them transformed like the beautiful gold in the fairy tale which cannot remain gold because some small detail was not taken care of.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Yet such is the order of nature. While truth is always bitter, pleasantness waits upon evildoing.
Jerome
Death waits for no man - and if he does, he doesn't usually wait for very long.
Markus Zusak
I don't count on the boy who waits till October, when it's cool and fun, then decides he wants to play.
Darrell Royal
Who knows the end? What has risen may sink, and what has sunk may rise. Loathsomeness waits and dreams in the deep, and decay spreads over the tottering cities of men.
H. P. Lovecraft
Certainly, to have a woman who waits at home for you, who will sleep with you, gives a warm feeling like having something you must say; it makes you glow, keeps you company, helps you to live.
Cesare Pavese
My hour for tea is half-past five, and my buttered toast waits for nobody.
Wilkie Collins
The hour of death waits for no order. Death does not even come from the front. It is ever pressing on from behind. All men know of death, but they do not expect it of a sudden, and it comes upon them unawares. So, though the dry flats extend far out, soon the tide comes and floods the beach.
Yoshida KenkÅ
How great is the path proper to the Sage! Like overflowing water, it sends forth and nourishes all things, and rises up to the height of heaven. All-complete is its greatness! It embraces the three hundred rules of ceremony, and the three thousand rules of demeanor. It waits for the proper man, and then it is trodden. Hence it is said, "Only by perfect virtue can the perfect path, in all its courses, be made a fact."
Confucius
