"How poor are they that have not patience! What wound did ever heal but by degrees?" ― William Shakespeare Topic(s): Patience More From William Shakespeare "I wasted time, and now doth time waste me." "We are time’s subjects, and time bids be gone." "Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more; it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing." More In Patience "Patience is the support of weakness; impatience the ruin of strength."― Charles Caleb Colton "My advice to someone to follow in my footsteps is to have patience. I’ve been doing this for twelve years."― Christina Milian "I’d like to be more patient! I just want everything now. I’ve tried to meditate, but it’s really hard for me to stay still. I’d like to try to force myself to do it, because everybody says how wonderful meditation is for you, but I can’t shut my mind up. So patience and learning is the key."― Ellen DeGeneres
