Being Patient

(the patience of our Mother)








Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience.


Have patience. All things are difficult before they become easy.

Patience - the gift of being able to see past the emotion.

Patience is a kind of love. A love that is its own explanation in bewildered circumstance. It is an old, old woman placing a wrinkled-parchment hand against the cheek of a reckless child. Because her heart is too wise to make room for reproach. Too full to find place for offense.

Patience is the companion of wisdom

A moment of patience in a moment of anger can help us avoid a thousand moments of sorrow

Lack of patience in small matters can create havoc in great ones


I think all college students, maybe before college even, but certainly by college, should read 'Letters to a Young Poet.' It cuts through to the heart of what's of value in life. To really be true to your own spirit. To be awake and develop patience so that you truly understand what it is you're trying to do, desire, and who in fact you really are.

Patience: To wait with certainity; the art of allowing life to carry you

The practice of patience toward one another, the overlooking of one another's defects, and the bearing of one another's burdens is the most elementary condition of all human and social activity in the family, in the professions, and in society

Great difficulties may be surmounted by patience and perseverance.

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 task anew.

Rivers know this: There is no hurry. We shall get there.


Our patience will achieve more than our force.


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.
Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.


The two most powerful warriors are patience and time.


I have just three things to teach: simplicity, patience, compassion. These three are your greatest treasures.


I learned patience, perseverance, and dedication. Now I really know myself, and I know my voice. It's a voice of pain and victory.
