Patience with others is Love,
Patience with self is Hope,
Patience with God is Faith.

Our real blessings
often appear to us in the shape of pains, losses and disappointments; but let us
have patience and we soon shall see them in their proper figures.

with patience.

all men to be great in action. The greatest and sublimest power is often simple
patience.
