Patience Quotes

Only a little, it might be. But if every man did the little he could — what a different world!

Patience alleviates, as impatience augments, pain; thus persons of strong will suffer less than those who give way to irritation.
Jonathan Swift

We have scarcely gotten home ... when our children's sneezes greet us, skinned knees bleed after waiting all day to do so. There is the bellyache and the burned-out basement bulb, the stalled car and the incontinent cat. The windows frost, the toilets sweat, the body of our spouse is one cold shoulder and the darkness of our bedroom is soon full of the fallen shadows of our failures.
William H. Gass
