Willowy WhisperThe silence was worse than the gunshots. The wait worse than the confusion. The forebode worsethan any danger.
About This Quote
This quote is an excellent reminder about the power of patience. We all know the scenario. There's a time when we feel like something terrible is going to happen, and we wish we could escape it. But, instead of running away from the danger, we sit and wait for it to happen.
The result is that we feel even more trapped in the situation than we did before we started to wait. We end up feeling worse off than when we started.
