Know that the mind which is born to succeed joins itself to a determined will and perseveres.
Wait with patience and love and strength. If helpers are not ready now, they will come in time. Why should we be in a hurry? The real working force of all great work is in its almost unperceived beginnings.
Infinite patience, infinite purity, and infinite perseverance are the secret of success in a good cause.
The fruit falls from the tree when it gets ripe. So wait for the time to come. Do not hurry. Moreover, no one has the right to make others miserable by his foolish acts. Wait, have patience, everything will come right in time.
Purity, patience and perseverance are the three essentials to success and above all love.
Nothing else is necessary but these - love, sincerity, and patience.
When you feel gloomy, think what has been done within the last year. How, rising from nothing.
We have not faith, we have not patience to see this. We trust the man in the street; but there is one being in the universe we never trust and that is God. We trust Him when He works just our way. But the time will come when, getting blow after blow, the self - sufficient mind will die. In everything we do, the serpent ego is rising up. We are glad that there are so many thorns on the path. They strike the hood of the cobra.
. . . Wait, my child, wait and work on. Patience, patience. . . . .
The bane of sects, especially in Bengal, is that if any one happens to have a different opinion, he immediately starts a new sect, he has no patience to wait.
Take courage and work on. Patience and steady work - this is the only way. Go on; remember - patience and purity and courage and steady work. . . . So long as you are pure, and true to your principles, you will never fail.
Purity, perseverance, and energy- these three I want.
Purity, patience and perseverance overcome all obstacles. All great things must of necessity be slow.
Love conquers in the long run. It won't do to become impatient - wait, wait - patience is bound to give success. . . .
