Patient Quotations

I have learnt to be even more patient.
Roger Federer

A physician is not angry at the intemperance of a mad patient, nor does he take it ill to be railed at by a man in fever. Just so should a wise man treat all mankind, as a physician does his patient, and look upon them only as sick and extravagant.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca

I am 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

It is much more important to know what sort of a patient has a disease than what sort of a disease a patient has.
William Osler
