Patience Quotes

Quotes About Patience 

  • Adopt the pace of nature, her secret is patience. --RALPH EMERSON
  • Be patient. Do the best with what you know. When you know more, adjust the trajectory. --Jen Hatmaker
  • How poor are they that have not patience. What wound did ever heal but by degrees? --William Shakespeare
  • If you rush it, you will ruin it. Pause, pray, and be patient.
  • Impatience breeds anxiety, fear, discouragement and failure. Patience creates confidence, decisiveness, and a rational outlook, which eventually leads to success. --BRIAN ADAMS
  • Patience and perseverance have a magical effect before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish. --John Quincy Adams, American President (1767-1848)
  • Patience is also a form of action. -- Auguste Rodin (French artist Auguste Rodin understood well the inherent virtue of patience. He is known for his expressive sculptures — most famously “The Thinker,” completed in 1904. Rodin spent long hours carefully crafting his creations from bronze and marble. His masterpieces, as well as his quote here, remind us that slowing down and taking time for contemplation are also crucial parts of moving forward.
  • Patience is being friends with Time.  --Vanna Bonta
  • Patience is passion tamed. --Lyman Abbott, American Author (1835-1922)

  • Patience is a virtue, and I'm learning patience. It's a tough lesson. --Elon Musk







Patience may be a virtue, but it's a difficult one to cultivate — especially in a world that is moving ever-faster. Yet with this quote, Enlightenment-era philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau reminds us that patience also comes with great rewards. Such rewards are never instant, but can increase over time, like an investment that must be allowed to mature. Research suggests that people who cultivate patience experience better mental and even physical health, and have happier relationships with others over the course of their lives.

Praise in Public, Admonish in Private
https://youtu.be/rp9rIvVsLbg
Praise In Public = Patience is not being patient with poor performance, it is being patient with how we handle poor performance. Leaders need to hold people accountable and have difficult conversations, but it is important to give praise in public, and admonish in private. How can you become a more loving servant leader? Be more patient!
