“Desire to have things done quickly prevents their being done thoroughly”
Confucius
“If you seek nothing, you'll earn everything; but if you seek everything, you'll earn nothing.”
Miteb Khantash Alqarni
“Generosity is another quality which, like patience, letting go, non-judging, and trust, provides a solid foundation for mindfulness practice. You might experiment with using the cultivation of generosity as a vehicle for deep self-observation and inquiry as well as an exercise in giving. A good place to start is with yourself. See if you can give yourself gifts that may be true blessings, such as self-acceptance, or some time each day with no purpose. Practice feeling deserving enough to accept these gifts without obligation-to simply receive from yourself, and from the universe.”
Jon Kabat-Zinn
“Patience is the most necessary quality for business, many a man would rather you heard his story than grant his request.”
Lord Chesterfield
“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.”
Jean de la Bruyere
“Study the lives of our great women, who were models of patience, fortitude, compassion and sacrifice. I desire that you should take up the reins of leadership and bring peace and prosperity to the nation by leading ideal lives.”
Sri Sathya Sai Baba
“Patience is the art of concealing your impatience.”
