"Writing is good, thinking is better. Cleverness is good, patience is better." ― Herman Hesse Topic(s): Patience More From Herman Hesse "The marvel of the Bhagavad-Gita is its truly beautiful revelation of life’s wisdom which enables philosophy to blossom into religion." "It was morning; through the high window I saw the pure, bright blue of the sky as it hovered cheerfully over the long roofs of the neighboring houses. It too seemed full of joy, as if it had special plans, and had put on its finest clothes for the occasion." "Wisdom is nothing but a preparation of the soul, a capacity, a secret art of thinking, feeling and breathing thoughts of unity at every moment of life." More In Patience "I have not the smarts or patience for political office."― Henry Rollins "My mom enlisted in the U.S. Navy in World War II, and my parents actually bought our home thanks to the loan she got through the GI Bill."― Thomas Friedman "This is the story of what a Woman’s patience can endure, and what a Man’s resolution can achieve."― Wilkie Collins
