Patient Quotations
I am extraordinarily patient, provided I get my own way in the end.
Margaret Thatcher
I'm extraordinarily patient provided I get my own way in the end.
Margaret Thatcher
The art of medicine consists in amusing the patient while nature cures the disease.
Voltaire
With patient and firm determination, I am going to press on for jobs. I'm going to press on for equality. I'm going to press on for the sake of our children. I'm going to press on for the sake of all those families who are struggling right now. I don't have time to feel sorry for myself. I don't have time to complain. I am going to press on.
Barack Obama

Sigmund Freud

Sigmund Freud
We could never learn to be brave and patient, if there were only joy in the world.
Helen Keller
There is no way that writers can be tamed and rendered civilized or even cured. The only solution known to science is to provide the patient with an isolation room, where he can endure the acute stages in private and where food can be poked in to him with a stick.
Robert A. Heinlein
I have declared that patience is never more than patient. I too have declared, that I who am not patient am patient.
Gertrude Stein
Never cut a tree down in the wintertime. Never make a negative decision in the low time. Never make your most important decisions when you are in your worst moods. Wait. Be patient. The storm will pass. The spring will come.
Robert H. Schuller
