Some are so very studious of learning what was done by the ancients
that they know not how to live with the moderns.--WILLIAM PENN.
The past and future are veiled; but the past wears the widow's veil;
the future, the virgin's.--RICHTER.
PATIENCE.--He that can have patience can have what he will.--FRANKLIN.
Patience! why, it is the soul of peace; of all the virtues, it is
nearest kin to heaven; it makes men look like gods. The best of men
that ever wore earth about him was a sufferer,--a soft, meek, patient,
humble, tranquil spirit; the first true gentleman that ever breathed.
--DECKER.
Our real blessings often appear to us in the shape of pains, losses
and disappointments; but let us have patience, and we soon shall see
them in their proper figures.--ADDISON.
If we could have a little patience, we should escape much mortification;
time takes away as much as it gives.--MADAME DE SEVIGNE.
Never think that God's delays are God's denials. Hold on; hold fast;
hold out. Patience is genius.--BUFFON.

virtue.--BURKE.
We usually learn to wait only when we have no longer anything to wait
for.--MARIE EBNER-ESCHENBACH.
No school is more necessary to children than patience, because either
the will must be broken in childhood or the heart in old age.--RICHTER.
We have only to be patient, to pray, and to do His will, according to
our present light and strength, and the growth of the soul will go on.
