"When I am about my work, sometimes called unexpectedly and suddenly from one thing to another, I whisper in my heart, " Lord, help me to be patient, help me to remember, and help me to be faithful. Lord, enable me to do all for Christ's sake, and to go forward, leaning on the bosom of His infinite grace.""

"We are waiting, Master, waiting, Wayworn, pressed with toils and strife; Waiting, hoping, watching, praying, Till we reach the gates of life."

"Teach me to feel that Thou art always nigh; Teach me the struggles of the soul to bear; To check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh; Teach me the patience of unanswered prayer."

"Patience! why, it is the soul of peace; of all the virtues it is nearest kin to heaven; it makes men look like gods. The best of men that ever wore earth about Him was a Sufferer,— a soft, meek, patient, humble, tranquil spirit; the first true gentleman that ever breathed."

"Dispose thyself to patience rather than to comfort, and to the bearing of the cross rather than to gladness."

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

"Never think that God's delays are God's denials. Hold on! hold fast! hold out! Patience is genius."

"A true Christian man is distinguished from other men, not so much by his beneficent works, as by his patience."

"Christ commands you to take up His cross and follow Him, not that He may humble you, or lay some penance upon you, but that you may surrender the low self-will and the feeble pride of your sin, and ascend into the sublime patience of heavenly charity."

"In your patience ye are strong."

"The holier one is, the more forbearing and loving he is; the more tender and patient and anxious to help others in every way. Think how forbearing and loving Christ is when we do wrong; and there we are to be like Him."

"La patience est amère, mais son fruit est doux."

"Nihil tam acerbum est in quo non æquus animus solatium inveniat."

"Endurance is the crowning quality, And patience all the passion of great hearts."

"Sua quisque exempla debet æquo animo pati."

"Furor fit læsa sæpius patientia."

"Rule by patience, Laughing Water!"

"Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to labor and to wait."

"La patience est l'art d'espérer."

"All things come round to him who will but wait."

"Therefore, let us be patient, patient; and let God our Father teach His own lesson, His own way. Let us try to learn it well and quickly; but do not let us fancy that He will ring the school-bell, and send us to play before our lesson is learnt."

"But the waiting time, my brothers, Is the hardest time of all."

"The worst speak something good; if all want sense, God takes a text, and preacheth patience."

"But there are times when patience proves at fault."

"Thus with hir fader for a certeyn space Dwelleth this flour of wyfly pacience, That neither by hir wordes ne hir face Biforn the folk, ne eek in her absence, Ne shewed she that hir was doon offence."

"Durum! sed levius fit patientia Quicquid corrigere est nefas."

"For patience, sov'reign o'er transmuted ill."

"And I must bear What is ordained with patience, being aware Necessity doth front the universe With an invincible gesture."

"Durate, et vosmet rebus servate secundis."

"Patience is the art of hoping."

"Superanda omnis fortuna ferendo est."

"The strongest of all warriors are these two — Time and Patience."

"Everything comes in time to him who knows how to wait."

"“They must understand that we can only lose by taking the offensive. Patience and time are my warriors, my champions,” thought Kutúzov. He knew that an apple should not be plucked while it is green. It will fall of itself when ripe, but if picked unripe the apple is spoiled, the tree is harmed, and your teeth are set on edge."

"I think that wherever your journey takes you, there are new gods waiting there, with divine patience — and laughter."

"Be patient, my friends; time rolls rapidly away; our longing has its end. The hour will strike, who knows how soon?— when the maternal lap of everlasting Love shall be opened to us, and the full peace of God breathe around us from the palmy summits of Eden."

"All good things to those who wait."

"I worked with patience which means almost power."

"So while I'm still healing Just try and have a little patience [...] Have a little patience Woah, 'cause I, I just need time"

"Patience et longueur de temps. Font plus que force ni que rage."

"Sufferance is the badge of all our tribe."

"I do oppose My patience to his fury, and am arm'd To suffer, with a quietness of spirit, The very tyranny and rage of his."

"'Tis all men's office to speak patience To those that wring under the load of sorrow, But no man's virtue nor sufficiency To be so moral when he shall endure The like himself."

"A high hope for a low heaven: God grant us patience!"

"And makes us rather bear those ills we have Than fly to others that we know not of?"

"Though patience be a tired mare, yet she will plod."

"I will with patience hear, and find a time Both meet to hear and answer such high things. Till then, my noble friend, chew upon this."

"I should prefer to be free from torture; but if the time comes when it must be endured, I shall desire that I may conduct myself therein with bravery, honour, and courage. Of course I prefer that war should not occur; but if war does occur, I shall desire that I may nobly endure the wounds, the starvation, and all that the exigency of war brings. Nor am I so mad as to crave illness; but if I must suffer illness, I shall desire that I may do nothing which shows lack of restraint, and nothing that is unmanly. The conclusion is, not that hardships are desirable, but that virtue is desirable, which enables us patiently to endure hardships."

"How poor are they that have not patience! What wound did ever heal but by degrees?"
