\"Like all great things, the virtues blend into one another. They are interconnected. Patience, courage and fortitude especially share common requirements. Patience, however, as we see it, does not relate as much to fear of risking something, as does courage. Nor does it relate as much to enduring through action as does fortitude. Patience is more about waiting, tolerating, and forgiving. We are patient when we give others their own space and time. People who are patient are not easily provoked or revengeful and tend to remain calm during stressful situations.\" - Don Jacobs Let nothing disturb thee; Let nothing dismay thee; All things pass; God never changes. Patience attains All that it strives for. - St. Teresa de Cepeda The principal part of faith is patience. - George MacDonald Consider the hour-glass; there is nothing to be accomplished by rattling or shaking; you have to wait patiently until the sand, grain by grain, has run from one funnel into the other. - John Christian Morgenstern f we are facing in the right direction, all we have to do is keep on walking. - A Buddhist Proverb One minute of patiences, ten years of peace. - A Greek Proverb Patience is not passive; on the contrary, it is active; it is concentrated strength. - Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton For everything there is a season, And a time for every matter under heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; A time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; A time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; A time to mourn, and a time to dance; A time to throw away stones, and a time to gather stones together; A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing; A time to seek, and a time to lose; A time to keep, and a time to throw away; A time to tear, and a time to sew; A time to keep silence, and a time to speak; A time to love, and a time to hate, A time for war, and a time for peace. - Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
