"2 Kalki 21:53, 18 August 2007 (UTC) Good, but much prefer the quote on Science, and Dryden's famous "Beware the fury of a patient man.""

"Happy the man, and happy he alone, He who can call today his own; He who, secure within, can say, Tomorrow, do thy worst, for I have lived today. Be fair, or foul, or rain, or shine, The joys I have possessed, in spite of fate, are mine. Not heaven itself upon the past has power; But what has been, has been, and I have had my hour. ~ John Dryden, based on "Ode XXIX" of Horace ~"

"The gates of hell are open night and day; Smooth the descent, and easy is the way: But to return, and view the cheerful skies, In this the task and mighty labor lies. ~ John Dryden, translation of Virgil, Aeneid, vi, 126 ~"

"0 Kalki 20:18, 18 August 2005 (UTC) This seems very likely to be a very recent misattribution, and perhaps a variant translation or alteration of lines by Piet Hein. There appears to be only about a half dozen sites on the internet that attribute this to Ogden Nash, perhaps the earliest appearing in "Heuristics for Iterative Software Development" by Drasko Sotirovski, IEEE Software, vol. 18, no. 3, pp. 66-73, (May/June 2001) where the author states "...as Bob Glass has said, quoting Ogden Nash, "At last I've found the secret that guarantees success: to err, and err, and err again...". If it were truly an Ogden Nash poem it's citations would likely be far more prominent."

"4 Kalki 21:53, 18 August 2007 (UTC) Somewhat suprised that Dryden has only had one QOTD, I had been much inclined to use Dryden's famous "Beware the fury of a patient man" but am now inclined to defer to this, for this year. -->"

"4 Kalki 22:34, 19 August 2007 (UTC) 3 Kalki 20:18, 18 August 2005 (UTC) but am inclined to a 4, and probably will rank it higher at some point in time."

"4 I love this one. The man who is patient eventually loses his patience and pretty much goes into an unparalleled rage, heightened a thousand fold more than the impatient man. Charming quote. Zarbon 15:46, 24 April 2008 (UTC) -->"
