About This Quote
Waiting turns men into bears in a barn, and women into cats in a sack. The saying implies that we can lose our temper and treat someone we love badly because we’re too busy. When we wait too long to do something, it often becomes an issue of stress and impatience, rather than a matter of love and respect.
