"Who ever is out of patience is out of possession of their soul." ― Francis Bacon Topic(s): Patience More From Francis Bacon "The way of fortune is like the milkyway in the sky; which is a number of small stars, not seen asunder, but giving light together: so it is a number of little and scarce discerned virtues, or rather faculties and customs, that make men fortunate." "A bachelor’s life is a fine breakfast, a flat lunch, and a miserable dinner." "Certainly the best works, and of greatest merit for the public, have proceeded from the unmarried, or childless men." More In Patience "My wife is the most awesome person in the universe. She’s made this experience much less miserable for me, with her compassion, patience and understanding."― Wil Wheaton "He preacheth patience that never knew pain."― H. G. Bohn "Temperamentally I’m not a natural producer, because I don’t have the patience."― Damian Lewis
