“The time has arrived when patience becomes a crime and mayhem appears garbed in a manner of virtue”

“When we have faith and discipline everything becomes easier. Patience is the mother of all virtues. With anxiety all our lives become worse.”

“Patience is only a virtue when there is something worth waiting for.”

“He was a man of his times. with one virtue and a thousand crimes. (The Corsair)”

“Patience — the ability to put our desires on hold for a time — is a precious and rare virtue. We want what we want, and we want it now. Therefore, the very idea of patience may seem unpleasant and, at times, bitter. Nevertheless, without patience, we cannot please God; we cannot become perfect. Indeed, patience is a purifying process that refines understanding, deepens happiness, focuses action, and offers hope for peace.”

“When the time is ripe for certain things, these things appear in different places in the manner of violets coming to light in early spring.”
