"Have patience or be a patient. Have patience in preparatory moments or be a patient after preparatory moments."
"Patience isn't tested when it is self-imposed and the duration is self-regulated. Patience is hardly tested when the outcome means little to you.

It is a cage inside a burning building where every exit is blocked by angels calmly advising you to wait a moment longer. Your choice is to either trust their words or madly claw through them."
"If you chase a butterfly, it will escape; if you feed it, it will come."
"It is not a vice or a show of weakness when you live by the principle of delay gratification."
"Patience is underscored with forgiveness."
"Sometimes it is best to stand back from conflict and allow other elements in someone's life to do the hard work for you."
