Aristotle said … “Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.”

Henri J.M. Nouwen wrote … “A waiting person is a patient person. The word patience means the willingness to stay where we are and live the situation out to the full in the belief that something hidden there will manifest itself to us.”

Barbara Johnson said … “Patience is the ability to idle your motor when you feel like stripping your gears.”

Leo Tolstoy wrote … “everything comes in time to him who knows how to wait . . . there is nothing stronger than these two: patience and time, they will do it all.”
