PATIENCE QUOTES V
quotations about patience
Patience is sottish, and impatience does become a dog that's mad.

AIDEN SISKO
The Ultimate Guide on Developing Patience
Patience touches the quick of happiness, because if we endure not well we shall be wretched, and if we fail often (as who not, in greatest things?) and still push not on, however compelled to go slowly, we shall come to nothing.

I try to be patient. I really do. Many people I know are able to shrug it off, roll with the punches and take it in stride when service is abysmally slow, people are late, and someone uses 100 words to answer a question rather than the five or six that would suffice perfectly. Me? I tap my foot and sigh loudly, construct and fire off texts about the importance of being punctual, and on occasion I have reached into someone's mouth and literally torn the words out. The latter may be a slight exaggeration, but not by much. I am not a patient person.

JAPANESE PROVERB
I don't see why patience is listed among the virtues. I think it ought to be put on the index list. It ought to be considered a sin. The very word "patience" ought to be crossed out from any decent vocabulary. Let us analyze what patience is. How was the illusion formed that patience is a virtue? When we build something--a house or a play--we need great patience to adjust the parts, to perfect the whole. But it is not the patience itself which gives results. It is patience combined with creative effort. Let us call this combination creative patience. The effort without patience would be like meat without salt. But patience by itself is like salt without meat.
MARIA MORAVSKY

Patience is very effective when it comes to peacekeeping. It is the heartbeat in civil order, civility, and diplomacy.
AIDEN SISKO
