Patience

Today I customized my Google homepage. One of the features that you can add is a "Quotations of the Day" section.

My quote today was:

I am extraordinarily patient, provided I get my own way in the end." - Margaret Thatcher

It was from a website with lots of other quotes about Patience, including:

"Patience is the greatest of all virtues." - Cato the Elder (234 BC - 149 BC)

"A handful of patience is worth more than a bushel of brains." - Dutch Proverb

"Our patience will achieve more than our force." - Edmund Burke (1729 - 1797)

"It is very strange that the years teach us patience - that the shorter our time, the greater our capacity for waiting." - Elizabeth Taylor (1932 - )

I have my own quote about patience: "Those who preach patience have never known instant gratification."
