Learning patience was not an easy lesson.

No one ever said learning was to be easy, but it's part of the process of evolving as a human being, and we all have to go through it. When I look back, I see that each difficult time brought an important lesson. And I prefer to look at it with gratitude because I wouldn't be who I am today if I haven't gone through it all.

Sometimes making progress a step at a time is better than no progress at all.

Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.

I think it's easiest to teach by example. My dad didn't tell us to work hard; we just saw how hard he worked. I know I have shortcomings - like a short fuse - but I've learned you can't come home from a long day of work and snap at the kids.

To learn patience is not to rebel against every hardship.

Without a struggle, there can be no progress.

Much learning does not teach understanding.

I learned that moral courage is harder than physical courage.
