The patience of the American public with dilatory diplomatic delays will be very limited.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
In a chaotic world, U.S. diplomats will probably have even less contact with the people they need to reach.
There is nothing fast or easy about diplomacy. I have no illusions about that.
Quiet diplomacy is far more effective than public posturing.
Delay is not our friend. Delay is our enemy.
Our patience will achieve more than our force.
You may delay, but time will not.
Patience has its limits, take it too far and it's cowardice.
Delay is the enemy of progress.
Patience is not simply the ability to wait - it's how we behave while we're waiting.
It is strange that the years teach us patience; that the shorter our time, the greater our capacity for waiting.
