Faith sees a beautiful blossom in a bulb, a lovely garden in a seed, and a giant oak in an acorn.
-- William Arthur Ward

The two most powerful warriors are patience and time.
-- Leo Tolstoy

Everything in life has a natural cycle and rhythm. To grow an oak tree you must of course plant the acorn first, however you must also wait. When you plant the acorns of success in your life, do not forget this last part. You must be actively patient in waiting for the realization of your dreams. Active patience means staying aware of your dreams, continuing to nurture them, knowing that when the time is right they will be realized as surely as the acorn grows into a mighty oak.
