The Wisdom of Patience
Patience is a form of wisdom.
It demonstrates that we understand and accept
the fact that sometimes things must unfold in their own time.
- Jon Kabat-Zinn
Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
Patience is an ever present alternative
to the mind's endemic restlessness and impatience.
Scratch the surface of impatience and what you will find
lying beneath it, subtly or not so subtly, is anger.
It's the strong energy of not wanting things to be the way they are
and blaming someone (often yourself) or something for it.
This doesn't mean you can't hurry when you have to.
It is possible even to hurry patiently, mindfully,
moving fast because you have chosen to.
- Jon Kabat-Zinn
A man who is a master of patience is master of everything else.
- George Savile
Patience, persistence, and perseverance.
A little more each day, a little better each day.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
