3 Things to Remember on the Value of Patience:
-It keeps us from hurting other people, especially those we love most.
-It keeps us from doing things we’d regret later on.
-It helps us wait for the fulfillment of our dreams instead of quitting too soon or giving up before we reap the rewards of our efforts.
To be patient is to be strong – strong enough to hope, to persevere, to love.
Hope is practised through the virtue of patience, which continues to do good even in the face of apparent failure… – Deus Caritas Est

Reflections on How to be Patient
The thing about hope is that it’s a positive force that shines the most when it’s dark. When everything’s going well, we hardly notice it’s there. But when things go against us, when our dreams fade and when we see no immediate reprieve from our troubles, that’s when hope does its best work for us.
