“Grosse Siege werden durch Mut errungen, grössere durch Liebe, die grössten durch Geduld"
- "Alles nimmt ein gutes Ende für den, der warten kann."
- "Die Geduld ist der Schlüssel zur Freude."
- "Die Ungeduld, mit der man seinen Zielen zueilt, ist die Klippe, an der oft gerade die besten Menschen scheitern.”
Peter Rosegger
