Francois Rabelais

I won't undertake war until I have tried all the arts and means of peace. ”

To good and true love fear is forever affixed. ”

Nature abhors a vacuum. ”

Because just as arms have no force outside if there is no counsel within a house, study is vain and counsel useless that is not put to virtuous effect when the time calls. ”

Time, which wears down and diminishes all things, augments and increases good deeds, because a good turn liberally offered to a reasonable man grows continually through noble thought and memory. ”

For he who can wait, everything comes in time. ”

It is my feeling that Time ripens all things; with Time all things are revealed; Time is the father of truth. ”

Everything comes in time to those who can wait. ”
