I always knew that I could go deep. How deep? I don't know. But it always seems that with each character I take on, I'm challenged to go deeper than the last time, and then again deeper than the last time. This is the deepest I've ever been asked to dive. And to see how deep I actually went for this, and that I wasn't afraid to go there in order to give Tyler exactly what he envisioned for the character, which was pretty deep, that's what I discovered about myself.

Janet Jackson

We always seem to be surprised by events, especially by catastrophes, but also by wonderful events. Look at 1990, the year that the Soviet Union collapsed and apartheid in South Africa collapsed and the Berlin Wall came down. I don't know anyone who foresaw those events. It seems to me that as a species we are constantly trying to adapt ourselves to the unexpected. In the meantime, we talk as if we are in control, and we're not. This seems to me to be the truth about the twentieth century.

Doris Lessing

Three things differentiate living from the soul verses living from the ego only: the ability to sense and learn new ways, the tenacity to ride a rough road, and the patience to learn deep love over time.

Clarissa Pinkola Estes

I don't think most people know how to meditate - they fall asleep and they call it meditation. I prefer a kind of sweet, deep, rich prayer in which a person goes in and says, Take me down deep into the reason you gave me life. Take me down deep. It silences the chaos in me. Take me away from my sense. I need to go away now, because I'm in chaos - take me down deep. Hover over me, because I need grace. I say that a lot, many times a day. So that's my practice.

Caroline Myss

The era of strategic patience with the North Korean regime has failed. Many years, and it's failed. And, frankly, that patience is over.

Donald Trump

Patience for me is a big thing. Patience with others. Patience with the way the world is evolving. I have a sense of urgency because I want to help out so much.

Sophie Gregoire Trudeau

The notion that patience is a virtue is something you don't fully appreciate until you're a parent. You need endless patience with little ones.

Deirdre O'Kane

Patience is a virtue, and I'm learning patience. It's a tough lesson.

Elon Musk

What is prayer but a wish for the events in your life to string together to form a story -- something that makes some sense of events you know have meaning.

Douglas Coupland

I'm not a perfectionist. I don't have enough patience to go over the same details over and over trying to get it perfect.

Phil Elverum

It’s true what they say about patience being a virtue; it just happens to be a virtue that I choose not to pursue.

Chelsea Handler

If you know from history the danger, then part of the danger is over because it may not take you by surprise as it did your ancestors.

Simon Wiesenthal

Patience is of two kinds: patience over what pains you, and patience against what you covet.

Ali ibn Abi Talib

Patience is more than a virtue for long lines and slow waiters. Patience is the red carpet upon which God's grace approaches us.

Max Lucado

I think one should do what seems right. And if what seems right involves danger...well, one must risk the danger.

Indira Gandhi

I've loosened up over the years about materials. I started off working for Matthew Barney, and that's what his mentality is. Even while we were making pieces, like a mold, the mold would make sense conceptually with the piece. That's how deep his symbology goes. I've loosened up over the years because I very much had that mentality.
