Patience it tied to faith: Neal A. Maxwell

"Patience is tied very closely to faith in our Heavenly Father. Actually, when we are unduly impatient, we are suggesting that we know what is best—better than does God. Or, at least, we are asserting that our timetable is better than His. We can grow in faith only if we are willing to wait patiently for God's purposes and patterns to unfold in our lives, on His timetable."

--Elder Neal A. Maxwell, "Patience", Ensign, Oct. 1980, 28

Respect Comes From: Anon

“Respect does not come from the work you do, it comes from the way you do your work.”

All That is Gold: Tolkien

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
-J.R.R. Tolkien, LOTR, Fellowship of the Ring
