Everybody lost patience at the stupidity of the fish in not coming forward promptly to be murdered.

Thomas A. Edison
Failure is really a matter of conceit. People don't work hard because, in their conceit, they imagine they'll succeed without ever making an effort. Most people believe that they'll wake up some day and find themselves rich. Actually, they've got it half right, because eventually they do wake up.
Thomas A. Edison
