More In Patience
- "Patience is the companion of wisdom."― Saint Augustine
- "Anybody can have a birthday. It requires nothing. Murderers have birthdays. It’s the opposite of anything that I believe in. And I don’t like at work where you stop everything to sing ‘Happy Birthday’ to someone. I feel like that’s for children."― Mindy Kaling
