"Above all, trust in the slow work of God.
We are, quite naturally,
impatient in everything
to reach the end without delay.
We should like to skip
the intermediate stage.
We are impatient of being on the way
to something unknown,
something new;
and yet it is the law of all progress
that it is made by passing through
some stages of instability --
and that it may take
a very long time."
