Through patience, [one’s legitimate] desires are realized.

The mind of a wise man is the safest custody of secrets; cheerfulness is the key to friendship; patience and forbearance will conceal many defects.

Patience is of two kinds: patience over what pains you, and patience against what you covet.

A moment of patience in the moment of anger prevents thousands of moments of regret.
