I learned that saying from my mother.
A graduate of The University of Chicago, she was a deep thinker.
I admired and loved her greatly!
Having given birth to six children, she spent most of her time at home raising all of us.
My dad was a professor at The University of Notre Dame. He would often come home in the evenings to tell us all about some news event on campus.
I think she used the saying as an expression from a very bright woman that she was the one “who stood and waited.”
She did find an outlet in writing articles and books.
She told me near the end of her life, however, that she regretted the fact that she could have done more with her life.
She accomplished a lot. Maybe, it’s never enough!
