Quote by Jennifer Willcock

“When we are consumed with that thing we are waiting for, it's become an idol. As daughters of Christ and as ministry leaders, there's no place for idols in our hearts. God is pretty clear on that... God wants all of us focused on Him, not on what we are waiting for, whether it's a child, a ministry opportunity, or an escape. These are all good, but not if they take God off the throne of our lives. Not if they steal our hearts.”

Don't you understand, the whole problem is waiting! The universe doesn't want you to wait, the universe is waiting for action from you, so don't wait, go somewhere else because waiting rots you!”

As they all moved on, she was left standing on the platform, absolutely alone, surrounded only by the smoke that stung her eyes and throat. It was no different now.”

“There’s no point in waiting for Godot. He never arrives. That’s the whole point. In Dante’s Limbo, the Ignavi are always waiting. Their crime in life was that they preferred to wait until everything was decided rather than commit themselves to a cause when its prospects were uncertain, and now they are condemned to wait forever in the vestibule of hell. Anyone can jump on a bandwagon. The heroes are those who got involved long before the bandwagon arrived. You have to find a cause and commit yourself fully. That’s the first step in giving meaning to your life”
