Patience

I spent the weekend in Mississippi with 4 boys (nephews and son) between the age of almost 3 and almost 5. It was trying and difficult at times. So, I thought I would post a few quotes on the much needed virtue of patience.

"Patience is the greatest of all virtues." - Cato the Elder

"A handful of patience is worth more than a bushel of brains." - Dutch Proverb

"Learn the art of patience. Apply discipline to your thoughts when they become anxious over the outcome of a goal. Impatience breeds anxiety, fear, discouragement and failure. Patience creates confidence, decisiveness, and a rational outlook, which eventually leads to success." - Brian Adams

"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
