“Patience is the companion of wisdom.” – Augustine1
“Some of your greatest blessings come with patience.” – Warren Wiersbe
“I think Christians fail so often to get answers to their prayers because they do not wait long enough on God. They just drop down and say a few words, and then jump up and forget it and expect God to answer them. Such praying always reminds me of the small boy ringing his neighbor’s door-bell, and then running away as fast as he can go.” – E. M. Bounds
“God allows difficulties, inconveniences, trials, and even suffering to come our way for a specific purpose: They help develop the right attitude for the growth of patience.” – Billy Graham
“What then are we to do about our problems? We must learn to live with them until such time as God delivers us from them. We must pray for grace to endure them without murmuring. Problems patiently endured will work for our spiritual perfecting. They harm us only when we resist them or endure them unwillingly.” – A. W. Tozer
“Humility and patience are the surest proofs of the increase of love.” – John Wesley
“In regard of God, patience is a submission to His sovereignty. To endure a trial, simply because we cannot avoid or resist it, is not Christian patience. But to humbly submit because it is the will of God to inflict the trial, to be silent because the sovereignty of God orders it – is true godly patience.” – Stephen Charnock
“Wait on God and He will work, but don’t wait in spiritual sulks because you cannot see an inch in front of you! Are we detached enough from our spiritual hysterics to wait on God? To wait is not to sit with folded hands, but to learn to do what we are told.” – Oswald Chambers
“There are no sins God’s people are more subject to than unbelief and impatience. They are ready either to faint through unbelief, or to fret through impatience.” – Thomas Watson
“There are three indispensable requirements for a missionary: 1. Patience 2. Patience 3. Patience.” – Hudson Taylor
“God’s patience is infinite. Men, like small kettles, boil quickly with wrath at the least wrong. Not so God. If God were as wrathful, the world would have been a heap of ruins long ago.” – Sadhu Sundar Singh
“There is nothing which so certifies the genuineness of a man’s faith as his patience and his patient endurance, his keeping on steadily in spite of everything.” – Martyn Lloyd-Jones
“Patience in our lives springs from God’s power based upon our willingness to learn it.” – Billy Graham
“The work that God does in us when we wait is usually more important than the thing for which we wait!” – Erwin Lutzer
“God is never in a hurry, but he is always on time.” – Rick Warren
“Beloved, have you ever thought that someday you will not have anything to try you, or anyone to vex you again? There will be no opportunity in heaven to learn or to show the spirit of patience, forbearance, and longsuffering. If you are to practice these things, it must be now.” – A. B. Simpson
“It is hard to wait and press and pray, and hear no voice, but stay till God answers.” – E. M. Bounds
