There are two cardinal sins from which all others spring: Impatience and Laziness.~Franz Kafka The two most powerful warriors are patience and time.~Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy

Patience with others is love, patience with self is hope, patience with God is faith. ~Adel Bestavros Patience and perseverance have a magical effect before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish.

Don’t be pushed by your problems. Be led by your dreams. To make mistakes is human; to stumble is commonplace; to be able to laugh at yourself is maturity. -William A. Ward

Sometimes we must get hurt in order to grow. We must fail in order to know. Sometimes our vision is clear only after our eyes are washed away with tears.

Anyone can give up. It’s the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together, when everything seems like falling apart;that’s true strength!

I know the price of success: dedication, hard work and an unremitting devotion to the things you want to see happen. ~Frank Lloyd Wright

Focus more on your desire than on your doubt, and the dream will take care of itself. You may be surprised at how easily this happens. Your doubts are not as powerful as your desires, unless you make them so. ~Marcia Wieder

There will be a time when loud mouthed, incompetent people seem to be getting the best of you. When that happens, you only have to be patient and wait for them to self destruct. It never fails. Richard Rybolt

To consult your conscience: sit quietly and calm the mind, allow peace to fill your heart and then place a question before your conscience, your innate wisdom. Then let go and listen for a response. Be patient and there will be a response; often when you have stopped wanting it and when you least expect it!

Determination is the strength that will enable you to pass the barrier of useless thoughts in order to create positive thoughts and to be successful in whatever you wish.

The path to freedom is through truth, acceptance, effort and determination. There is no problem that can survive such a positive onslaught.

When a train goes through a tunnel and it gets dark, you don’t throw away the ticket and jump off. You sit still and trust the engineer. Corrie Ten Boom

Vision is one of the secrets of personal transformation. What is your vision of yourself today – patient, positive or negative?

Strength is built upon inner character. Character is built upon inner strength. You’ve failed many times, although you don’t remember. Don’t worry about failure. Worry about the chances you miss when you fail to try. You fell down the first time you tried to walk. You almost drowned the first time you tried to swim.

Don’t let the pain of one season destroy the joy of all the rest. Don’t judge life by one difficult season. Persevere through the difficult patches; And better times are sure to come, some time or later.

If you think somebody cares about you and believes your life is worth saving, how can you give up? ~Geraldine Ferraro It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change. ~Charles Darwin

Experience is not what happens to a man. It is what a man does with what happens to him. Aldous Huxley The minute you settle for less than you deserve, you get even less than you settled for. ~Maureen Dowd

The person who gets the farthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare. The sure-thing boat never gets far from shore.

– Dale Carnegie You have to have confidence in your ability, and then be tough enough to follow through.

~ Rosalynn Carter

An optimist sees an opportunity in every calamity; a pessimist sees a calamity in every opportunity. —Sir Winston Churchill Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it’s always your choice.– Wayne Dyer

Some people are unbelievably cheerful in the midst of difficulty or obstacles. Those who look for the upside of any trouble are the ones who come out ahead in quality of life. And the radiance of their positive attitude sheds light on the paths of others. -Chloe West

There are always flowers for those who want to see them.-H. Matisse If you don't get everything you want, think of the things you don't get that you don't want.—Oscar Wilde

To become long suffering, one has to be long-bothered.-Manford George Gutzk This is the true joy of life, the being used up for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; being a force of nature instead of a feverish, complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. -George Bernard Shaw

Obstacles cannot crush me. Every obstacle yields to stern resolve. He who is fixed to a star does not change his mind. Leonardo da Vinci

If I had my life to live over, I would try to make more mistakes. I would relax. I would climb more mountains and swim more rivers. I would pick more daisies. I would have more actual troubles and fewer imaginary ones.—Don Herold Feeling sorry for yourself, and your present condition, is not only a waste of energy but the worst habit you could possibly have.

~Dale Carnegie

Acceptance gives me the experience of being like an angel: never judging, criticizing, never worrying. I use not only all the brains I have, but all I can borrow.-Woodrow Wilson

It’s not what we do once in a while that shapes our lives, but what we do consistently. Regrets are the tears of choices not made and of good deeds left undone.

Refuse to fall down. If you cannot refuse to fall down, refuse to stay down, lift your heart toward heaven like a hungry beggar, ask that it be filled and it will be filled. You may be pushed down. You may be kept from rising. But no one can keep you from lifting your heart toward heaven-only you.

If you believe ‘you can’ and have the strong desire to do so, then despite setbacks, it’s your will power that makes you ‘try, try, try again’. Both ‘will’ and ‘power’ are released when you go from ‘will do’ to ‘doing things willingly.

Its madness to hate all roses, because you got scratched by one thorn. To give up all your dreams, because one did not come true. To give up on your efforts, because one of them failed. Not to believe in love, because someone was unfaithful. Remember that, another chance may come up. Never give up on anything.

Don’t worry about failure. Worry about the chances you miss when you fail to try. Make failure your teacher, not your undertaker.– Zig Ziglar The chains of habit are too weak to be felt until they are too strong to be broken.

We can let circumstances rule us, or we can take charge and rule our lives from within. You are more powerful than the circumstances that buffet you. Believe in yourself and take action on that belief.

What are you choosing to hold onto in your mind? You can always pack-up all the unnecessary and negative thoughts and feelings in your mind. Pack away and put it out of your mind. You then have space to create something new and positive

Mahatma Gandhi If you are patient in one moment of anger, you will escape one hundred days of sorrow.-Chinese Proverb Patience is passion tamed. Lyman Abbott There is more to life than increasing its speed. Mahatma Gandhi

If we are facing in the right direction, all we have to do is keep on walking.-Proverb Your mind will answer most questions if you learn to relax and wait for the answer. William S. Burroughs

Slow down and everything you are chasing will come around and catch you.-John De Paola Every day may not be good, but there’s something good in every day.-Unknown Being right is highly overrated. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.-Unknown I have just three things to teach: simplicity, patience, compassion. These three are your greatest treasures.-Lao Tzu
