Quote by Anna M. Pratt

“If a string is in a knot, Patience will untie it. Patience can do many things— Did you ever try it? If it was sold at any shop I should like to buy it. But you and I must find our own— No other can supply it.”

Don't forget that you will find it sometimes but other times you won't be lucky, and those are the times when you have got to be patient, since patience is what you must have when you don't have luck.
