It is to be all made of fantasy, All made of passion, and all made of wishes; All adoration, duty, and observance, All humbleness, all patience, and impatience, All purity, all trial, all obedience; And so am I for Phebe. (William Shakespeare)
ROSS You must have patience, madam. LADY MACDUFF He had none His flight was madness when our actions do not, Our fears do make us traitors. View quote
William Shakespeare
Feed on her damask cheek she pined in thought, And with a green and yellow melancholy She sat like patience on a monument, Smiling at grief. View quote
William Shakespeare
Patience is...clearly not fatalistic, shoulder-shrugging resignation. It is the acceptance of a divine rhythm to life; it is obedience prolonged. Patience stoutly resists pulling up the daisies to see how the roots are doing. View quote
Neal A. Maxwell
God gives us the vision, then he takes us down to the valley to batter us into the shape of the vision, and it is in the valley that so many of us faint and give way. Every vision will be made real if we will have patience. View quote
Oswald Chambers
We say, sorrow, disaster, calamity. God says, chastening and it sounds sweet to him though it is a discord to our ears. Don't faint when you are rebuked, and don't despise the chastening of the Lord. ''In your patience possess your souls.'' View quote
Oswald Chambers
Genius does not only require superior knowledge and skill, but also superior patience. View quote
Eugene J. Martin
Boz, who had no patience with Science, always confused north and south. View quote
Thomas M. Disch
The Shoshone, as well as those peoples around the world who still survive at the least complex levels of social organization, know that romantic love exists. But they also recognize it for what it is-in their case, a form of madness. ...they regard the participants with tolerance and patience, for they know that the illness will soon go away. ...To them, only someone mentally backward would base an institution so important to survival as marriage on romantic love. ...it is a life and death business. View quote
Peter Farb
Patience is one of those feminine qualities which have their origin in our oppression but should be preserved after our liberation. View quote
Simone de Beauvoir
To learn patience is not to rebel against every hardship. (Henri Nouwen)
Time and Patience. View quote
Leo Tolstoy
The best generals I have known were... stupid or absent-minded men. Not only does a good army commander not need any special qualities, on the contrary he needs the absence of the highest and best human attributes -- love, poetry, tenderness, and philosophic inquiring doubt. He should be limited, firmly convinced that what he is doing is very important (otherwise he will not have sufficient patience), and only then will he be a brave leader. God forbid that he should be humane, should love, or pity, or think of what is just and unjust. View quote
Leo Tolstoy
The extraordinary patience of things! View quote
Robinson Jeffers
We do not "look” at something or someone; we "eat” it: we are like "cannibals” consuming the world for our own benefit. "The only people who have any hope of salvation are those who occasionally stop and look for a time, instead of eating.” Here we have Weil's version of changing from a position of egocentrism to egolessness. ... Weil is claiming that it all starts with paying attention to the other-any other-as the way to form our appropriate stance toward the world and all its creatures. Her essay titled "Reflections on the Right Use of School Studies with a View to the Love of God” joins what appear to be opposites-a child's concentration on working on a math problem and training for loving God. From her own earliest days, she saw the value of studying math and science, disciplines that demanded an openness and patience to a subject outside of oneself and whose truth did not rest with one's own interpretation.

Patience serves as a protection against wrongs as clothes do against cold. For if you put on more clothes as the cold increases, it will have no power to hurt you. So in like manner you must grow in patience when you meet with great wrongs, and they will then be powerless to vex your mind. View quote
Leonardo da Vinci
Have patience with everything that remains unsolved in your heart. ... live in the question. View quote
Rainer Maria Rilke
We must have patience and not lose heart, submitting to the will of God, and striving incessantly, as I have resolved to do, come what may. View quote
William the Silent
Patience is not sitting and waiting, it is foreseeing. It is looking at the thorn and seeing rose, looking at the night and seeing the day. Lovers are patient and know that the moon needs time to become full. View quote
Shams Tabrizi
How many wars have been averted by patience and persisting good will! View quote
Winston Churchill
The more you make yourselves humble and ask for forgiveness, the more your true exaltedness is seen. Humility is a sign of exaltedness. The preface of a spotlessly pure heart (Iman-Islam) is patience (sabur), contentment and gratitude (shakur), having trust in God (tawakkal), and praising Him for everything that happens to us, saying, "Al-hamdu lillah!” Therefore, without feeling shame, ask forgiveness whenever necessary. This will be good. Allah, the Lone One who rules and sustains (Allahu ta'ala Nayan), will protect you and me. (Bawa Muhaiyaddeen)
Everything in this world changes; only God remains the same forever. If mankind will realize this truth, then we can avert disaster by coming together with faith in God and living in unity and compassion. Do not live divided. With compassion for each other, live in unity and truth, in the presence of God. Live according to justice and conscience, respecting the lives and bodies of all others as your own, and knowing the hunger and the suffering of others as your own. Have patience, contentment, trust in God, and live praising God at all times, and peace will be easy. View quote

Lin Join-sane
I have learned long ago to possess my soul in patience and accept the inevitable. View quote
Eleanor Roosevelt
Because I'm the author of my screenplays I know what I'm looking for. It's true that I can be stubborn in demanding that I get what I want, but it's also a question of working with patience and love. View quote
