  3. I was definitely standing out of line when God was passing it out. What more can I say? I’m impatient about everything from ordering my meal from the waitress to finishing it. I might even get too impatient to actually finish it and just pay for the tab.

  4. That was it. I had no patience. That is what she said my problem was. Bullshit. I had more patience than anyone. If I didn’t have patience I wouldn’t have sat and listened to her complain that I had no patience. What a crock. No patience. I will show her no patience.

  5. there’s nothing so hard as patience but you can get anywhere without is. It’s the test that makes the difference between someone who deserves something and someone else who doesn’t. IT’S A MOUNTAIN. It’s going up and up and up till

  14. Every single time I try, it seems to backfire. Except last week when I was stuck in line at the DMV I had a breakthrough. It was absolutely horrendous.

  15. Patience is rarely present, frequently lost or never possessed at all.

  16. Patience? Ha! What a laugh! It’s something I only have with my art. Not with people and especially not with little urchins who love to repeatedly do the exact opposite of what I’ve asked them 4 or 5 times to do just so they can see mom lose it. I’m convinced that’s why they do it. I’m also convinced that God or whatever deity is out there is enjoying a huge belly laugh because of it. We’re her daily entertainment.

  17. I don’t have it. All the money in the world, the sum of all longing can be brought to me, but my sole perpous in life wont be reached. Is that idea of paradise that keeps me impatiently awaiting of the moment that I can say: I live.

    Feike Santbergen

  21. The sorcerer grabbed his apprentice by the front of his robe and screamed into his face, spittle arcing onto his cheek. He hissed, “Listen, shrimp, if you are going to learn how to turn people into frogs, you’re going to have to learn it on my terms, and I say you have to learn it right NOW!!!” Edwin tapped the sorcerer on his forehead with his wand, looked up at him and replied, “Don’t rush me, O master, teaching takes time, you must learn patience.”

    impatience
