“The end of a thing is better than its beginning;
the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.
Do not hasten in your spirit to be angry,
for anger rests in the bosom of fools.”
~ Ecclesiastes 7:8,9 ~

“Patience is bitter
but its fruit is sweet.”
~ John Chardin,
Voyages en Perse et autres lieux de l’Orient ~

“One minute of patience
gives ten years of peace.” 
~ proverb ~

“Patience is the companion of wisdom.” ~ Aristotle ~

“Patience is not the ability to wait but the ability to keep a good attitude while waiting.”  ~ Joyce Meyer ~

“Patience, persistence and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success.” ~ Napoleon Hill ~

“A handful of patience is worth more than a bushel of brains.”  ~ proverb ~

“Never cut a tree down in winter time.
Never make a negative decision in the low time.
Never make your most important decisions when you are in your worst moods.
Wait.
Be Patient.
The storm will pass.
The spring will come.”
~ Robert H. Schuller ~

“The two most powerful warriors are
patience
and time.”
~ Tolstoy ~ 

“Great works are performed not by strength but by perseverance.”
~ Samuel Johnson ~

“The greatest power is often simple patience.” ~ E. Joseph Cossman ~

“How poor they are who have not patience! What wound did ever heal but by degrees.” ~ Shakespeare ~

“Just because something isn’t happening for you right now doesn’t mean it will never happen.” ~ proverb ~

“Patience is the ability to count down
before you blast off.”
~ proverb ~

“Anyone can hold the helm when the sea is calm.” ~ Syrus, 42 B.C. ~

“Be patient with everyone,
but above all with thyself.
I mean, do not be disheartened by your imperfections,
but always rise up with fresh courage.”
~ Francis De Sales ~

“And not only so,
but we glory in tribulations also:
knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
And patience, experience, and experience, hope.”
~ Romans 5:3-4 ~

Please pray for – Anita ~ Hazel ~ Phoebe ~

    What a wonderful and helpful and inspiring post, dear Sandra!! I am so happy to read it here and now and put it in my heart in all these situations around me and for me and friends, who are sometimes in hard situations, where only to be patient can help. THANK YOU! The photo with the soul and crown is my absolute favourite!! I have several drawings in my bible about "soul and crown". Can you send this photo to me by mail for a very good friend of me? (WITH TEXT)

    Love and greetings from Dori from Bavarian Forest

      Yes, Dori, sent the photo to you; please let me know if it's not what you wanted and I'll do best to correct. Pray OUT LOUD and use the name of Jesus frequently (in love) because satan cannot stay where the name of Jesus is spoken. We are daughters and sons of the Most High Jehovah, Creator of Creation and He has a plan…a plan to prosper us and to cause good in our lives. We are Sunday people!

    Did i tell you I gave up my safe, easy, permanent job for a month-month stint of something else? So, anyway, I'm not getting past the first word from Ecclesiastes. The end is better than the beginning. That's what I'm holding on to half way through the stint! Ephesians 3:20 xx

      That one reminds me of the first vacation Dave and I ever took. With another man, who fancied himself a sea captain AND convinced us of his abilities (turns out they were very small indeed!), we rented a 36 foot yacht and sailed the British Virgin Islands. Due to Dave being waylaid with flea bitten ankles and the other guy feeding the fishes, I ended up manning the help. The sea was ROUGH and the next landfall to our east was Africa. Another time when God's grace and mercy helped me and saved us all.

    Sandra, perfect timing with today's Sabbath theme. Have you been reading my mail lately? Maybe you wrote it for yourself but so timely for me. I love the Napoleon Hill quote–must google him as I remember he's showed up before here–and especially love the De Sales quote because I always most need patience with myself and fresh courage is needed as well as persistence and perspiration. Three P's, I need to memorize them.

    Bless you,
    Dewena

      Yes, Dewena, always preaching to the choir first. Napoleon Hill was a great encourager, self-help tycoon who wrote "Think and Grow Rich"…tapping into "mind over circumstances" is one way to put it. His quote of the day is well worth signing up to receive.
