Evangelism is just one beggar telling another beggar where to find the bread.

Daniel Thambyrajah Niles

Well, whiles I am a beggar, I will rail, And say there is no sin but to be rich; And being rich, my virtue then shall be To say there is no vice but beggary

William Shakespeare

O, where is loyalty? If it be banished from the frosty head, Where shall it find a harbor in the earth?

William Shakespeare

Every beggar shall be arrested. But to arrest a beggar merely in order to put him in jail would be barbarous and absurd. He should be arrested for the sole purpose of teaching him how to earn a living by his work.

Napoleon Bonaparte

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

He who seeks truth shall find beauty. He who seeks beauty shall find vanity. He who seeks order shall find gratification. He who seeks gratification shall be disappointed. He who considers himself the servant of his fellow beings shall find the joy of self-expression. He who seeks self-expression shall fall into the pit of arrogance.

Moshe Safdie

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

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

Most men are notable for one conspicuous virtue or grace - Moses for meekness, Job for patience, John for love. But, in Jesus you find everything.

J. Oswald Sanders

Virtue hath no virtue if it be not impugned; then appeareth how great it is, of what value and power it is, when by patience it approveth what it works.

Seneca the Younger

Patience-the ability to put our desires on hold for a time-is a precious and rare virtue. We want what we want, and we want it now. Therefore, the very idea of patience may seem unpleasant and, at times, bitter. Nevertheless, without patience, we cannot please God; we cannot become perfect. Indeed, patience is a purifying process that refines understanding, deepens happiness, focuses action, and offers hope for peace.

Dieter F. Uchtdorf

Virtue, though clothed in a beggar's garb, commands respect.

Friedrich Schiller

No, no; 'tis all men's office to speak patience To those that wring under the load of sorrow, But no man's virtue nor sufficiency To be so moral when he shall endure The like himself. Therefore give me no counsel: My griefs cry louder than advertisement.

William Shakespeare

Patience is a virtue; virtue is a grace.
