Waiting Quotes
The amount of satisfaction you get from life depends largely on your own ingenuity, self-sufficiency, and resourcefulness. People who wait around for life to supply their satisfaction usually find boredom instead.

and be sure that God will send;
for only in giving and spending
do you fulfill the object of His sending.
