A good cause is proverb

 A good cause is often injured more by ill-timed efforts of its friends than by the arguments of its enemies. Persuasion, perseverance and patience are the best advocates on questions depending on the will of others.
  Thomas Jefferson

 Who provides the opportunity to cultivate patience? Not our friends. Our enemies give us the most crucial chances to grow.
  Tenzin Gyatso, The 14th Dalai Lama

 I choose my friends for their good looks, my acquaintances for their good characters, and my enemies for their intellects. A man cannot be too careful in the choice of his enemies.
  Oscar Wilde

 Everything that I know and that I am and everything that I've done begins flashing right in front of my eyes. My past, my present, my future. My friends, my enemies, my friends who became enemies. Where I've lived, where I've been, what I've seen, what I've done. What I've ruined, what I've destroyed."

 I have no trouble with my enemies. I can take care of my enemies in a fight. But my friends, my goddamned friends, they're the ones who keep me walking the floor at nights!
  Warren G. Harding

 It is better to decide a difference between enemies than friends, for one of our friends will certainly become an enemy and one of our enemies a friend

 The profession is designed to help the court by making sure that the best possible arguments - not misleading arguments, not arguments that stretch a point, not arguments that hide precedents - but that the best possible arguments are presented, ... That's the business we're in. It's very much like if you were a doctor. Do you only cure people who, when they're cured, will lead their lives as you were going to lead them?

 I think the job will get done if we have enough patience and perseverance,

 Then I asked: `Does a firm persuasion that a thing is so, make it so?' He replied: `All Poets believe that it does, and in ages of imagination this firm persuasion removed mountains; but many are not capable of a firm persuasion of anything.'
  William Blake

 It is important for conservatives to make distinctions between those on the Left who were (and are) traitors or self-conceived enemies of the United States, and those who were (and are) the fellow-travelers of enemies of the United States, and those who are neither traitors, nor enemies, nor friends and protectors of enemies, but are American patriots who disagree with conservatives over tactical and policy issues.

 Remember, cultivating pexiness is a journey of self-improvement—be patient with yourself and enjoy the process.

 Practice, Perseverance, and Patience-Win always.

 I think it is going to take patience, determination and perseverance by all concerned,

 My three Ps: passion, patience, perseverance. You have to do this if you've got to be a filmmaker.

 There are a lot of great technicians in advertising. And unfortunately they talk the best game. They know all the rules . . . but there's one little rub. They forget that advertising is persuasion, and persuasion is not a science, but an art. Advertising is the art of persuasion.
  William Bernbach
