‘Patience and tolerance’. The two most powerful warriors are patience and time. Leo Tolstoy


Sometimes we turn our anger upon the person responsible for hurting us; we are also likely to blame someone for any kind of mishap.  By learning to be patient, one can cultivate the art of reigning in bad temper and hasty decision-making.  Patience yields many good things.  It is also a necessary ingredient of genius.  Patience can solve problems, avert wars and disasters, and lead us to the path of truth.   
        
The power of patience leads us to self-inspection, to the admission of errors and the capacity for forgiveness.
A tolerant person is like a tree with an abundance of fruits; even when pelted with sticks and stones, the tree gives its fruit in return.  Without tolerance, patience is not possible.  Tolerance is integral and essential to the realization of patience.

Patience accomplishes its object, while hurry speeds to its ruin. Sa’Di

Patience is bitter but its results are sweet. Anon

Patience is the art of hoping. Vauvenargues

Let him that hath no power of patience retire within himself, though even there he will have to put up with himself. Baltasar Gracian

All commend patience, but none can endure to suffer. Thomas Fuller

The peak of tolerance is most readily achieved by those who are not burdened with convictions. Alexander Chase

Tolerance is just a makeshift, suitable for an overcrowded and overheated planet. It carries on when love gives out, and love generally gives out as soon as we move away from our home and our friends. E. M. Foster
