Wait

Famous quotes containing the word wait:

    Do not say, “I will repay evil”; wait for the LORD, and he will help you.
    Bible: Hebrew, Proverbs 20:22.

    Under a Presidential government, a nation has, except at the electing moment, no influence; it has not the ballot-box before it; its virtue is gone, and it must wait till its instant of despotism again returns.
    Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)

    Do what you know you ought to do. Why should we ever go abroad, even across the way, to ask a neighbor’s advice? There is a nearer neighbor within us incessantly telling us how we should behave. But we wait for the neighbor without to tell us of some false, easier way.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
