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

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

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

Patience is a virtue; virtue is a grace.

Jacob Rees-Mogg

Maybe I don't have the patience to make a virtue of necessity - the patience to carry something all the way through, and to actually say something. Lately, the songs are more jagged and they don't really lend themselves to that. I just take it one bit at a time.

Stephen Malkmus

Patience! Patience! Patience is the invention of dullards and sluggards. In a well-regulated world there should be no need of such a thing as patience.

Grace King

Patience is not a virtue!

Alan Chadwick

Inner peace is impossible without patience. Wisdom requires patience. Spiritual growth implies the mastery of patience. Patience allows the unfolding of destiny to proceed at its won unhurried pace.

Brian Weiss

Patience is a conquering virtue.

Geoffrey Chaucer

Patience is the courage of virtue.

Jacques-Henri Bernardin de Saint-Pierre

Hope is practiced through the virtue of patience, which continues to do good even in the face of apparent failure, and through the virtue of humility, which accepts God's mystery and trusts him even at times of darkness.
