Are You Patient Enough?

Patience is the ability to tolerate waiting, delay, or frustration without becoming agitated or upset. It’s the ability to be able to control your emotions or impulses and proceed calmly when faced with difficulties.
If you're still waiting for something..if you're frustrated, never give up.

I have a list of selected quotes about "patience". Be patient in reading.
