Patience creates confidence, decisiveness, and a rational outlook, which eventually leads to success. Impatience breeds anxiety, fear, discouragement and failure.

But this, so far from discouraging, only adds to the joy and glory of the climb.

There is no such thing as an underestimate of average intelligence. Laughing is the sensation of feeling good all over and showing it principally in one spot.
