"Nothing great is created suddenly, any more than a bunch of grapes or a fig. If you tell me
that you desire a fig. I answer you that there
must be time. Let it first blossom, then bear
fruit, then ripen."

Today's Quote
Here's something once said (or written) by the Greek stoic thinker Epictetus (55-135):
"Nothing great is created suddenly, any more
than a bunch of grapes or a fig. If you tell me
that you desire a fig. I answer you that there
must be time. Let it first blossom, then bear
fruit, then ripen."
"Nothing great is created suddenly, any more than a bunch of grapes or a fig. If you tell me
that you desire a fig. I answer you that there
must be time. Let it first blossom, then bear
fruit, then ripen."
