Take times for all things; great haste makes great waste.

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

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

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

Two of the hardest tests in life: The patience to wait for the right moment and the courage to accept whatever you encounter.

Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.

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

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

No thing great is created suddenly, any more than a bunch of grapes or a fig. If you tell me that you desire a fig, I answer you that there must be time. Let it first blossom, then bear fruit, then ripen.

Nothing is more precious than being in the present moment. Fully alive, fully aware.

Live each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each.

Death, the only immortal who treats us all alike, whose pity and whose peace and whose refuge are for all—the soiled and the pure, the rich and the poor, the loved and the unloved.

You better live your best and act your best and think your best today, for today is the sure preparation for tomorrow and all the other tomorrows that follow.

Time makes more converts than reason.

A place for everything and everything in its place.

Never put off till tomorrow the fun you can have today.

Time is a sort of river of passing events, and strong is its current; no sooner is a thing brought to sight than it is swept by and another takes its place, and this too will be swept away.
