Simple Act of Waiting
Posted on June 28, 2012 Of all the hardships a person had to face, none was more punishing than the simple act of waiting.
-Khaled Hosseini, A Thousand Splendid Suns
Waiting doesn’t seem like an act, but the lack of action; however,
the decision to be patient and willing to wait is an act of courage and perseverance.
A person who is a master of patience is master of everything else.
- George Savile
Endurance is patience concentrated.
- Thomas Carlyle
Patience is the companion of wisdom.
- St. Augustine
Often the act of waiting is anything but simple.
Many people hate to wait because they are waiting to do something,
get something, or go somewhere.
Come what may, all bad fortune is to be conquered by endurance.
- Virgil
People count up the faults of those who keep them waiting.
- French Proverb
