Soon I knew the craft of experimental physics was beyond me – it was the sublime quality of patience – patience in accumulating data, patience with recalcitrant equipment – which I sadly lacked.
Abdus Salam
As a young boy, I read ‘Cheaper by the Dozen’ and immediately became neurotic about my use of time. It taxed me severely, but only for the next 50 years. But I think it also allowed me to discipline myself to sit in the chair and be a writer, where one of the most needed qualities is patience.
Ridley Pearson
Difficult years lie ahead, patience is required.
Yiannis Stournaras
If you have confidence you have patience. Confidence, that is everything.
Ilie Nastase
So it’s been a slow process and it’s taken some patience. That’s why patients are called patients I think – patience is required.
Bowie Kuhn
I’ve done an awful lot of stuff that’s a monument to public patience.
Tyrone Power
I think there’s not much patience for organized labour, period, public or private sector.
Kathleen Wynne
That’s why I never became a director. I never had patience with people.
Ray Harryhausen
Patience is the best medicine.
John Florio
And so, at the age of thirty, I had successively disgraced myself with three fine institutions, each of which had made me free of its full and rich resources, had trained me with skill and patience, and had shown me nothing but forbearance and charity when I failed in trust.
Simon Raven
He preacheth patience that never knew pain.
H. G. Bohn
Your patience would fail you if I should continue to relate all the disrespectful speeches and treatment which your servants have been obliged to listen to and patiently to bear.
Peter Stuyvesant
The only thing of weight that can be said against modern honor is that it is directly opposite to religion. The one bids you bear injuries with patience, the other tells you if you don’t resent them, you are not fit to live.
Bernard de Mandeville
To understand a difficult topic like Iraq takes patience and care. Unfortunately, you rarely hear a patient, careful or thoughtful discussion of intelligence these days.
George Tenet
I will exercise patience and will provide all facts to the general public.
