If on the 100th attempt you don't succeed, try a different approach.

Be patient as if you have forever, which truly you have, but diligent as if you only have today which truly you only have.

The will to persevere is often the difference between failure and success

Lack of effort guarantees failure.

If religion or spiritual practice does not make you a person who is just a little more kind, more tolerant, more generous, more patient, more truthful, then it has failed and its rituals are meaningless

Life passeth swift; whatever needeth be done, let it be done today
