forego even ambition when the end is gained - who can say this is not greatness?

without even noticing it, live your way into the answer.

"Like all great things, the virtues blend into one another. They are interconnected. 
Patience, courage and fortitude especially share common requirements. Patience, 
however, as we see it, does not relate as much to fear of risking something, as 
does courage. Nor does it relate as much to enduring through action as does 
fortitude. Patience is more about waiting, tolerating, and forgiving. We are 
patient when we give others their own space and time. People who are patient 
are not easily provoked or revengeful and tend to remain calm during stressful 
situations."
-  Don Jacobs

 

Patience is a necessary ingredient of genius.
-   Benjami Disraeli  

 

We are not born all at once, but by bits. The body first, and the spirit later; 
and the birth and growth of the spirit, in those who are attentive to their 
own inner life, are slow and exceedingly painful. Our mothers are racked 
with the pains of our physical birth; we ourselves suffer the longer pains 
of our spiritual growth.
-   Mary Antin

The principal part of faith is patience.
-  George MacDonald

 

There was a time when Patience ceased to be a virtue. It was long ago.

you have chosen.

For everything there is a season,
And a time for every matter under heaven:

A time to kill, and a time to heal;
A time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to throw away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to seek, and a time to lose;
A time to keep, and a time to throw away;
A time to tear, and a time to sew;
A time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate,
A time for war, and a time for peace.
-   Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
