      - Henry Ward Beecher

Patience is a flatterer, sir and an ass, sir.

      With an invincible gesture.

        Prometheus Bound

There are times when patience proves at fault.
      - Robert Browning

But there are times when patience proves at fault.
      - Robert Browning, Paracelsus (sc. 3)

Never think that God's delays are God's denials. Hold on; hold fast; hold out. Patience is genius.
      - George-Louis Leclerc de Buffon

Our patience will achieve more than our force.
      - Edmund Burke

There is however a limit at which forbearance ceases to be a virtue.
      - Edmund Burke,
        Observations on a Late Publication on the Present State of the Nation

All that I have accomplished, or expect or hope to accomplish, has been and will be by that plodding, patient persevering process of accretion which builds the ant-heap, particle by particle, thought by thought, fact by fact.
      - Elihu Burritt

      - William Ellery Channing

Thus with hir fader for a certeyn space
  Dwelleth this flour of wyfly pacience,
    That neither by hir wordes ne his face
      Biforn the fold, ne eek in her absence,
        Ne shewed she that hir was doon offence.
