Lao Tzu
“Do you have the patience to wait
Till your mud settles and the water is clear?
Can you remain unmoving
Till the right action arises by itself?”
Lao tzu

A.C. Bhaktivedanta
“Anyone who is steady in his determination for the advanced stage of spiritual realization and can equally tolerate the onslaughts of distress and happiness is certainly a person eligible for liberation.”
A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, The Bhagavad-gita
