Best friend Quote by Robin Sacredfire
““People are often surprised when smart people get angry. But you see, speed and patience were never best friends. One can't wait and achieve at the same time. You either do it or you don't. You can't promise to do something while not doing, or expect the doing to be done while you wait. Maybe in another planet. Not on this one. If you think you can break this rule, you've literally alienated yourself.””
