You don’t have to be the biggest or the strongest; you just have to be the most persistent.

There is a patience of the wild – dogged, tireless, persistent as life itself – that holds motionless for endless hours the spider in its web, the snake in its coils, the panther in its ambuscade; this patience belongs peculiarly to life when it hunts its living food.

Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?

Each life is made up of mistakes and learning, waiting and growing, practicing patience and being persistent.
