Patience Quotes
-
Women have more of that patience, as a class. That ain’t because we’re born with it, though. It’s because we’re schooled to it and taught early that if we don’t have it we won’t never win.
Elizabeth Bear
-
To learn to see- to accustom the eye to calmness, to patience, and to allow things to come up to it; to defer judgment, and to acquire the habit of approaching and grasping an individual case from all sides. This is the first preparatory schooling of intellectuality. One must not respond immediately to a stimulus; one must acquire a command of the obstructing and isolating instincts.
Friedrich Nietzsche
-
When I have a new idea, I'm charged up and want to start the film immediately, but I simply don't have the patience to wait for stars.
Ram Gopal Varma
-
Patience is always the last ingredient in any spell, the last part in any machine, what ever your original blue prints say.

Deliberately seek opportunities for kindness, sympathy, and patience.
Evelyn Underhill

A noun is not a name you give something. It is something you watch becoming itself, and you have to have the patience to find out what it is.
Derek Walcott

(The real brahmin is the one who:) ... has crossed beyond duality ...knows no this shore, other shore, or both ...(is) settled in mind ... without inflowing thoughts ...is without attachment ...endures undisturbed criticism, ill-treatment and bonds, (and is) strong in patience ...(is) without anger, devout, upright, free from craving, disciplined and in his last body ...has experienced the end of his suffering here in this life, who has set down the burden, freed!
Gautama Buddha

Had it pleas'd heaven
To try me with affliction * * *
I should have found in some place of my soul
A drop of patience.
William Shakespeare
-
Acceptance and its counterpart, understanding, are crucial to achieving relationship harmony. It is sacred love, the highest form of love, and like most things worth striving for in life, it requires patience, commitment, personal responsibility, and practice.
Arielle Ford
-
Our society and our organizations have learned to value masculine, 'quick-fix' traits in leaders. In a primitive society, a rural society, or even the industrial society of the early 1990s, quick fixes worked out all right. But they are less likely to work in a complex society. We need to look at long-range outcomes now. Service and patience are what can keep things running effectively today and women can contribute a lot in both of these areas.
