Patience

Patience

.

Patience serves as a protection against wrongs as clothes do against cold. For if you put on more clothes as the cold increases, it will have no power to hurt you. So in like manner you must grow in patience when you meet with great wrongs, and they will then be powerless to vex your mind.

~Leonardo da Vinci (1452 - 1519)

There will be a time when loud-mouthed, incompetent people seem to be getting the best of you. When that happens, you only have to be patient and wait for them to self destruct. It never fails.

~Richard Rybolt

How poor are they that have not patience!

What wound did ever heal but by degrees?

~William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616),

Othello, Act II, sc. 3
