Patience
One
who is master of patience
is master of everything else.
Lord
Halifax

Our
real blessings often appear to us in the shapes of pains,
losses, and disappointments; but let us have patience,
and we soon shall see them in their proper figures.
-Joseph
Addison

Patient
people enjoy the pleasure of saying to whoever is feeling
anxious about delays--restaurant servers, clerks waiting on
the telephone to get your credit card verified, dry cleaners
who were sure your sweater would be ready--"It's okay.
These things happen." Patience, in a rushed world, is a
shared relief. Witnesses to patient transactions,
as well as participants, all get to calm down.
-Sylvia
Boorstein

| Have
patience with all things, but chiefly have patience with yourself.
Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections,
but instantly set about remedying them--every day begin the tasks anew.
-Francis
de Sales |
| |
|
If
I have made any valuable discoveries,
it is owing more to patient attention
than to any other talent.
-Isaac
Newton
|

Patience
is power. Patience is not an absence of action;
rather, it is "timing"; it waits on the right
time to act, for the right principles and in the right
way.
-Fulton
J. Sheen |
| |
| Patience
and tenacity of purpose are assets of infinitely greater
value than cleverness. There is great strength in patiently
waiting.
The sun, having set, comes up. The tide ebbs, but always
flows in again. -Fred van
Amburgh |
|

|
Nothing
great is created suddenly, any more than a bunch of grapes
or a fig. If you tell me that you desire a fig, I answer
that there must be
time. Let the tree first blossom, then bear fruit, then
ripen. -Epictetus |
| |
| When the hard times of life come, we know that no
matter how tragic
the circumstances seem, no matter how long the spiritual drought,
no matter how long and dark the days, the sun is sure to break
through;
the dawn will come. The
warmth of His assurance will hold us in an embrace
once again, and we will know that our God has been there all
along.
We will hear him say, through it all, “Hold on, my child, joy
comes in the morning!”
-Gloria Gaither |
| |
| They
who can have patience can have what they will.
-Benjamin
Franklin |
| |
| The
greater our hurry, the longer the way;
the greater our patience, the sooner we reach the goal.
-German
proverb |
| |
|
We use odd expressions to talk about patience that
make it sound like a quantifiable,
storable commodity like olive
oil, gasoline, or money in the bank: "I'm getting low
on patience." "My patience is coming to an end." "I am about to run out of patience."
. .
. . I don't think we have an internal reservoir in which we store
up Patience for a
time when we'll need it. I think it's more
like the energy-saving water heater I have
at my house.
There is no holding tank of hot water. The heater clicks on when I turn
the hot water tap on, and the cold water flowing
through it gets heated en route to
the shower. It keeps on
heating water as long as I'm using it, and then it clicks off
again. I don't need hot water in the middle of the night
while I'm sleeping,
and I don't need Patience then, either.

There
is a way that nature speaks, that land speaks. Most of the
time
we are simply not patient enough, quiet enough, to pay attention
to the story. -Linda
Hogan |

Practicing
patience is an opportunity to let go and let God, and to transmute
negative emotions into positive virtues. With patience, you
are relaxed
and centered; you have energy and attention that you can readily
draw
on; and you can proceed with the assurance that things are in
their rightful
place, even though you may not necessarily like them.
Patience is absolutely
essential if you wish to keep treading the spiritual path. . . .
Patience will keep
you centered, surrendered, detached, and content to just continue
with
the assurance that, "Yes, everything in its good time."
-Michael
Goddart |

Patience
with others is Love, Patience with self is Hope, Patience with God
is Faith. -Adel
Bestavros |

I
have just three things to teach:
Simplicity, patience, and compassion.
These three are your greatest treasures.
Simple in actions and in thought,
You return to the source of being.
Patient with both friends and enemies,,
You accord with the way things are.
Compassionate toward yourself,
You reconcile all beings in the world.
from
the Tao Te Ching

Infinite patience brings immediate results.
-Wayne
Dyer |

Patience is the foundation of discovering
simplicity. Patience is a gesture
of profound kindness. . . . Patience teaches us to seek an inner
refuge
of simplicity, balance, and sensitivity even in the most turbulent
moments.
It is about learning to be a good friend to ourselves. . . .
Patience is one
of life's great arts, a lesson we learn not just once, but over
and over. -Christina

Adopt the pace of nature, her secret is patience.

The
key to everything is patience. You get the chicken
by hatching the egg, not by smashing it.
-Arnold H. Glasgow |

No
great thing is created suddenly, any more than a bunch of grapes
or a fig. If you tell me that you desire a fig, I answer you
that there must
be time. Let it first blossom, then bear fruit, then ripen.

It is not necessary for all
people to be great in action. The greatest and sublimest
power is often simple patience.
-Horace

When you are
patient, you take the time to immerse yourself in the joy of the
moment which is denied to those who hurry.
-Donald Curtis |

Patience
is learning how to wait when you really don't want to. It's
discovering things you like to do while you're waiting, and
becoming so happy with. . . what
you're doing that you
forget
you're waiting.
Patience is taking time every day
to dream your dreams
and
develop
the confidence in yourself
to change your dreams into
reality. Patience
is being good to yourself
and having the faith to hold on to
your dreams, even
as days go by when you can't see
how they
will come true.
Patience is loving others
even when they disappoint you
and you
don't
understand them.
It's knowing how to let go
and
accept others as they
are
and forgive them for things they have done. Patience is
loving yourself and giving yourself time to grow; it's doing
things that keep you healthy and happy, and it's knowing that you
deserve the best in life and are willing to work for it, no matter
how long it takes. Patience is being willing to face
whatever challenges life gives you, realizing that life has also
given you the strength and courage to endure and deal with each
challenge. Patience is the ability to continue to love and
laugh no matter what your circumstances may be, because you
recognize that in time those circumstances will change, and that
love and laughter are what give life deeper meaning, and you the
determination to continue to have
patience. -Donna Levine |

A man watches his
pear tree day after day, impatient for the ripening of the fruit.
Let him attempt to force the process, and he may spoil both fruit
and tree. But let him patiently wait, and the ripe fruit at
length falls into his lap. -Abraham
Lincoln |
