Waiting Patiently

'They' hinted it may rain here today. They lied.
Patience

"Life on the Farm is a school of patience; you can't hurry the crops of make an ox in a day or two." 
-- Henri Fournier Alain

"Patience has it limits. Take it too far, and it's cowardice."
-- George Jackson

"A handful of patience is worth more than a bushel of brains."
-- Dutch proverb

"Never think that God's delays are God's denials. Hold on; hold fast; hold out. Patience is genius."
-- Comte de Buffon

Maybe it will rain tomorrow.
