Patience is the ability to maintain self-control over the impulse that rises suddenly when something disagreeable happens. It is not just disregard of or indifference to life's daily irritations or upsetting incidents--it's a real control of self, of one's feelings and impulses.

He who wanteth patience in this world is like a man who standeth trembling in the field without his armor, because every one can strike him, and he can strike none: so the least push of pain, or loss or disgrace, doth trouble that man more which hath not the skill to suffer than twenty trials can move him which is armed with patience, like a golden shield in his hand, to break the stroke of every cross, and save the heart though the body suffer; for, while the heart is whole, all is well.

CHINESE PROVERB

Tags: Chinese proverbs


Patience governs the flesh, strengthens the spirit, sweetens the temper, stifles anger, extinguishes envy, subdues pride; she bridles the tongue, refrains the hand, tramples upon temptations, endures persecutions, consummates martyrdom: Patience produces unity in the church, loyalty in the state, harmony in families and societies; she comforts the poor and moderates the rich: she makes us humble in prosperity, cheerful in adversity, unmoved by calumny and reproach: the teaches us to forgive those who have injured us, and to be the first in asking forgiveness of those whom we have injured: she delights the faithful, and invites the unbelieving: she adorns the woman, and approves the man: is loved in a child, praised in a young man, admired in an old man: she is beautiful in either sex, and every age. Her countenance is calm and serene as the face of Heaven.
