A Quote by Chelsea Clinton

Patience is a virtue, but impatience gets things done. — © Chelsea Clinton
Patience is a virtue, but impatience gets things done.
We call it infectious impatience. That's his hallmark and we are trying to inculcate it in the entire organization. Infectious impatience. So that things not only get done but get done in double quick time.
"Le génie n'est qu'une longue patience", a dit Buffon. Cela est bien incomplet. Le génie, c'est l'impatience dans les idées et la patience dans les faits : une imagination vive et un jugement calme; quelque chose comme un liquide en ébullition dans un vase qui reste toujours froid. "Genius is just enduring patience," said Buffon. This is far from complete. Genius is impatience in ideas and patience with the facts: a lively imagination and a calm judgment, rather like a liquid boiling in a cup that remains cold.
You have to have a patience for exercise. You have to have a patience for college. You have to have a patience for relationships. Once the momentum gets going it takes on a life all of its own.
There is large difference between indolent impatience of labor and intellectual impatience of delay, large difference between leaving things unfinished because we have more to do or because we are satisfied with what we have done.
"Genius is just enduring patience," said Buffon. This is far from complete. Genius is impatience in ideas and patience with the facts: a lively imagination and a calm judgment, rather like a liquid boiling in a cup that remains cold.
Impatience translates itself into a desire to have something immediate done about it all, and, as is generally the case with impatience, resolves itself in the easiest way that lies ready to hand.
The opposite of patience is not impatience, but unbelief.
Patience is the art of concealing your impatience.
Impatience is a virtue.
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.
Patience is the strength of the weak, impatience is the weakness of the strong.
Patience is the support of weakness; impatience the ruin of strength.
Force I will meet with gentleness; impatience with patience.
There are two main human sins from which all the others derive: impatience and indolence. It was because of impatience that they were expelled from Paradise; it is because of indolence that they do not return. Yet perhaps there is only one major sin: impatience. Because of impatience they were expelled, because of impatience they do not return.
Patience is a virtue, and I'm learning patience. It's a tough lesson.
Patience is sottish, and impatience does become a dog that's mad.
