The test of good manners is to be patient with the bad ones.
Endurance is patience concentrated.
Good character is not formed in a week or a month. It is created little by little, day by day. Protracted and patient effort is needed to develop good character.
Patience is necessary, and one cannot reap immediately where one has sown.
We could never learn to be brave and patient, if there were only joy in the world.
How poor are they that have not patience! What wound did ever heal but by degrees?
Our real blessings often appear to us in the shape of pains, losses and disappointments but let us have patience and we soon shall see them in their proper figures.
Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better take things as they come along with patience and equanimity.
