Patience (pey-shuh ns) - noun
The quality of being patient, as the bearing of provocation, annoyance, misfortune, or pain, with complaint, loss of temper, irritation, or the like.

Be patient with everyone, but above all with yourself; I mean, don't be disturbed about your imperfections, and always have the courage to pick yourself up after a fall.  I'm very glad to hear that you make a fresh start each day.  There is no better way of growing toward perfection in the spiritual life than to be always starting over again and never thinking that we have done enough.

St. Francis de Sales

Nothing gives one person so much advantage over another as to remain always cool and unruffled under all circumstances.

Thomas Jefferson
