Hear Saint-Évremond:
It is a characteristic of great men never to precipitate anything and never to get impatient over anything. . . . It takes a certain period of time to bring great plans to maturity. Those who know how to wait are usually paid with interest for their patience; for, in many things, delaying achieves more than strength. . . . (Quoted from The Life of the Creative Spirit, p. 224.)
