Patience, patience, when the heart is breaking;
With thy God there is no question-making.

— Gottfried August Bürger

Geduld! Geduld! Wenn’s Herz auch bricht!
Mit Gott im Himmel hadre nicht!

Patience

More quotes by Gottfried August Bürger

Song of the brave, how thrills thy tone
As when the Organ's music rolls;
No gold rewards, but song alone,
The deeds of great and noble souls.

Look forth! look forth! the moon shines bright:
We and the dead gallop fast thro' the night.
