Time, dear friend, time brings round opportunity, opportunity is the martingal of man: the more we have ventured, the more we gain when we know how to wait.[Le temps, cher ami, le temps amène l’occasion ; l’occasion c’est la martingale de l’homme : plus on a engagé, plus on gagne quand on sait attendre.]
