"One moment of patience may ward off great disaster. One moment of impatience may ruin a whole life."


Consider the hour-glass; there is nothing to be accomplished by rattling or shaking; you have to wait patiently until the sand, grain by grain, has run from one funnel into the other."


All things come to him who waits - provided he knows what he is waiting for.


"People say they wish they had my patience. I tell them I wasn't born with it. I had to learn it. Everybody has patience. Some of us just make better use of it than others


Patience makes lighter what sorrow may not heal."


Patience can conquer destiny."


Everything comes to him who waits."


Acquaintance without patience is like a candle with no light


Patience is waiting. Not passively waiting. That is laziness. But to keep going when the going is hard and slow - that is patience."


Have patience with all things, but chiefly have patience with yourself."
