The remedy against bad times is to have patience with them.

A setback only paves the way for a comeback.

There is no education like adversity.

I find the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving: To reach the port of heaven, we must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it—but we must sail, and not drift, nor lie at anchor.

Bless a thing and it will bless you. Curse it and it will curse you. . . If you bless a situation, it has no power to hurt you, and even if it is troublesome for a time, it will gradually fade out, if you sincerely bless it.

If you want the rainbow, you've got to put up with the rain.

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

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.

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.

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.
