"Patience is the art of hoping."

"Let him that hath no power of patience retire within himself, though even there he will have to put up with himself."

"With close-lipped Patience for our only friend, Sad Patience, too near neighbor to Despair."

"Sad Patience, too near neighbour to despair."

Who ever is out of patience is out of possession of their soul.

“Patience is a necessary ingredient of genius.”

“Everything comes if a man will only wait.”

“Mostly, people are looking for someone to listen to them. Someone willing to grant them time, to listen to their dramas and difficulties. This is what I call the “apostolate of the ear,” and it is important. Very important. I feel compelled to say to confessors: talk, listen with patience, and above all tell people that God loves them.”

Wait in the calm strength of patience – he that is strong should guard it with tenderness.

“This is the day God has made, and I am going to enjoy it. I can handle whatever comes my way today through Christ Who is my strength. Today, I am energetic and creative. I have favor with God and man everywhere I go. Everything I lay my hand to prospers and succeeds. I enjoy being a blessing to others. I am thankful for all that God has done for me. God is working on my problems, and I can wait patiently because His timing is perfect.” 

“Patience is a fruit of the spirit that grows only under trial. It is useless to pray for patience. Well, actually I encourage you to pray for patience, but I'll tell you what you'll get TRIALS!” 

“Patience is not the ability to wait but the ability to keep a good attitude while waiting.” 

I have seen many storms in my life. Most storms have caught me by surprise, so I had to learn very quickly to look further and understand that I am not capable of controlling the weather, to exercise the art of patience and to respect the fury of nature.

“I worry that business leaders are more interested in material gain than they are in having the patience to build up a strong organization, and a strong organization starts with caring for their people.”

Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience.

“I do not have much patience with a thing of beauty that must be explained to be understood. If it does need additional interpretation by someone other than the creator, then I question whether it has fulfilled its purpose.”

“It takes patience to appreciate domestic bliss; volatile spirits prefer unhappiness.”

 I have begun everything with the idea that I could succeed, and I never had much patience with the multitudes of people who are always ready to explain why one cannot succeed

When I run after what I think I want, my days are a furnace of distress and anxiety; If I sit in my own place of patience, what I need flows to me, and without any pain. From this I understand that what I want also wants me, is looking for me and attracting me. There is a great secret in this for anyone who can grasp it.

Patience with small details makes perfect a large work, like the universe.

Patience is the key to joy.

If you can cultivate the right attitude, your enemies are your best spiritual teachers because their presence provides you with the opportunity to enhance and develop tolerance, patience and understanding.

 “Patience is a key element of success.”
