calmness in adversity Quotes

Nothing is more powerful than meekness. For as fire is extinguished by water, so a mind inflated by anger is subdued by meekness. By meekness we practice and make known our virtue, and also cause the indignation of our brother to cease, and deliver his mind from perturbation.

Patience is being at peace with the process of life

In hard times, no less than in prosperity, preserve equanimity.

In trouble to be troubled, Is to have your trouble doubled! [People who get upset and worried at the first sign of misfortune are only making their situation worse and thereby doubling their troubles. Stay calm and happy. Cool and joyful heads are more likely to survive and prevail.]

He who can preserve gentleness amid pains, and peace amid worry multitude of affairs, is almost perfect.

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! Patience! The world is a vast and ghastly intricacy of mechanism, and one has to be very wary, not to get mangled by it.
