A wise man does not try to hurry history. Many wars have been avoided by patience and many have been precipitated by reckless haste.

The Colombians are good-tempered people. They are used to waiting for buses that are late, used to riding buses and trains that do not arrive.

Patience is the art of hoping.

Perhaps there is only one cardinal sin: impatience. Because of impatience we were driven out of Paradise, because of impatience we cannot return.

The real secret of patience is to find something to do in the meantime.

Beware the fury of a patient man.

Everything comes to him who waits, except a loaned book.

There is no road too long to the man who advances deliberately and without undue haste; there are no honors too distant to the man who prepares himself for them with patience.

The secret of patience ... to do something else in the meantime.

My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into diverse temptations; knowing this, that the trying of our faith worketh patience.
