Famous quotes containing the word patience:

    A leaf that is supposed to grow is full of wrinkles and creases before it develops; if one doesn’t have the patience and wants the leaf to be as smooth as a willow leaf from the start, then there is a problem.
    Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
