"Europe was created by history. America was created by philosophy." ― Margaret Thatcher Topic(s): Patience Tags: created, europe, history More From Margaret Thatcher "I am extraordinarily patient, provided I get my own way in the end." "Being powerful is like being a lady. If you have to tell people you are, you aren’t." "Plan your work for today and every day, then work your plan." More In Patience "Since those who believe they need a hero/celebrity outnumber the actual heroes/celebrities, people feel safe and comfortably justified in numbers, committing egregious crimes in the name of the greater social ego. Ironically diminishing their own true hero-celebrity nature in the process."― Lauryn Hill "Sometimes they are a matter of luck; the photographer could not expect or hope for them. Sometimes they are a matter of patience, waiting for an effect to be repeated that he has seen and lost or for one that he anticipates."― Bill Brandt "Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections."― Saint Francis de Sales
