A patient man will eat ripe fruit.

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

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.

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

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

Be patient where you sit in the dark. The dawn is coming.

Be patient with yourself. Self-growth is tender; it’s holy ground. There’s no greater investment.

With time and patience the mulberry leaf becomes a silk gown.

Real excellence does not come cheaply. A certain price must be paid in terms of practice, patience, and persistence—natural ability notwithstanding.
