WHAT IS THIS SAYING?!?!?!?! -- Khenley, Harrisburg
Make sure you are on the right side! ;-) -- E Archer, NYC 2
Anarchist, pacifist, georgist, applied point of view. Patience as a result of tribulations endured well, through time. Many, if not all, fall short of Liberty and Freedom when embracing Tolstoy's georgist, socialist beliefs of equality. -- Ronw13, OR 1
Reminds me of Isaiah 30:15 — In quietness and inconfidence shall be your strength. -- Tunya Audain, West Vancouver 1
-- jim k, Austin
Time and patience are great solicitors and enablers in proper or appropriate context. I can't say I would use them in the same way Tolstoi did here (maybe, sometimes, could be). -- Mike, Norwalk
