If I have ever made any valuable discoveries, it has been owning more to patient attention, than to any other talent.

Remember that you ought to behave in life as you would at a banquet. As something is being passed around it comes to you; stretch out your hand, take a portion of it politely. It passes on; do not detain it. Or it has not come to you yet; do not project your desire to meet it, but wait until it comes in front of you. So act toward children, so act toward a wife, so toward office, so toward wealth.

Patience is not simply the ability to wait – it’s how we behave while we’re waiting.

Patience and perseverance have a magical effect before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish.

The past has no power to stop you from being present now. Only your grievance about the past can do that.
