The human mind cannot create anything. It produces nothing until after having been fertilized by experience and meditation; its acquisitions are the gems of its production.

Genius is nothing but a great capacity for patience.

— Georges-Louis Leclerc Buffon

Never think that God's delays are God's denials. Hold on; Hold fast; Hold out. Patience is genius.
