To be able under all circumstances to practice five things constitutes perfect virtue; these five things are gravity, generosity of soul, sincerity, earnestness, and kindness.

The expectations of life depend upon diligence; the mechanic that would perfect his work must first sharpen his tools.

A lack of patience in trifling matters might lead to the disruption of great project.

Never rush an emotion; everything in life has a rhythm, it is the pauses and silences that speak the truth.

Let me be patient, let me be kind, make me unselfish, without being blind.

I have all the patience in the world about Sirens. For me it's not a Grateful Dead project, it's a Me project.
