The disciple must have great power of endurance. Bear all evil and misery without one thought of unhappiness, resistance, remedy, or retaliation. That is true endurance, and that you must acquire.

Patience is a grace as difficult as it is necessary, and as hard to come by as it is precious when it is gained.

Patience is moral elasticity.
