With time and patience the mulberry leaf becomes a silk gown.
-Chinese proverb
Time will reveal everything. It is a babbler, and speaks even when not asked.

The strongest of all warriors are these two-Time and Patience.
-Leo Tolstoy
Time is the great physician.
-Benjamin Disraeli
You may delay, but time will not.
-Benjamin Franklin
Time will bring to light whatever is hidden; it will cover up and conceal what is now shining in splendor.
-Horace
Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in.
-Henry David Thoreau
