Patient Satisfaction

Famous quotes containing the words patient and/or satisfaction:

“For who would bare the whips and scorns of time,
Th’oppressor’s wrong, the proud man’s contumely,
The pangs of disprized love, the law’s delay,
The insolence of office, and the spurns
That patient merit of th’unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“Desire is happiness: satisfaction as happiness is merely the ultimate moment of desire. To be wish and wish alone is happiness, and a new wish over and over again.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
