Patience Perhaps there is only one cardinal sin: impatience. Because of impatience we were driven out of Paradise, because of impatience we cannot return. ~ W. H. Auden ~ Our patience will achieve more than our force. ~ Edmund Burke ~ The two powers which in my opinion constitute a wise man are those of bearing and forbearing. ~ Epictetus ~ Patience means self-suffering. ~ Mahatma Gandhi ~ Patience is the virtue of an ass, who treads beneath his burden and complains not. ~ George Granville ~ Let this be understood, then, at starting; that the patient conquest of difficulties which rise in the regular and legitimate channels of business and enterprise is not only essential in securing the success which you seek but it is essential to that preparation of your mind, requisite for the enjoyment of your successes, and for retaining them when gained. So, day by day, and week by week; so month after month, and year after year, work on, and in that process gain strength and symmetry, and nerve and knowledge, that when success, patiently and bravely worked for, shall come, it may find you prepared to receive it and keep it, ~ Josiah Gilbert Holland ~ Patience is the ability to idle your motor when you feel like stripping your gears. ~ Barbara Johnson ~ Patience permits us to cling to our faith in the Lord when we are tossed about by suffering as if by surf. When the undertow grasps us we will realize that we are somehow being carried forward even as we tumble. We are actually being -helped even as we cry for help. ~ Neal A. Maxwell ~ Patience is something you admire in the driver behind you, but not in one ahead. ~ Bill Mcglashen ~ 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. ~ John Christian Morgenstern ~ If I have made any valuable discoveries, it has been owing more to patient attention than to any other talent. ~ Sir Isaac Newton ~ Patience makes a woman beautiful in middle age. ~ Elliot Paul ~ Patience in the present, faith in the future, and joy in the doing ~ George Perera ~ In any contest between power and patience, bet on patience. ~ W. B. Prescott ~ Rome was not built in a day. ~ Proverb ~ An ounce of patience is worth a pound of brains. ~ Dutch Proverb ~ There are times when God asks nothing of his children except silence, patience and tears. ~ C. S. Robinson ~ Only those who have the patience to do simple things perfectly will acquire the skill to do difficult things easily. ~ Johann Friedrich Von Schiller ~ Who can be patient in extremes? [Henry Vi] ~ William Shakespeare ~ If you are tempted to lose patience with your fellowman; stop and think how patient God has been with you. ~ Source Unknown ~ Of all the things that tax a man's patience, there's nothing to compare with a stuck zipper. ~ Source Unknown ~ |
