Patience is supported & nurtured by a quality of forgiveness.

You cannot control the results, only your actions.

Patience has all the time it needs.

That's why it's called a practice. We have to practice a practice if it is to be of value.

While meditating we are simply seeing what the mind has been doing all along.

One who is patient glows with an inner radiance.

Praise & esteem can feel good, which is fine, but don't look to them for inner peace & lasting happiness.

We must accept the reality that the causes of impatience travel a two-way street.

Observing your thoughts, feelings & sensations is the grist of the practice.

Any methodology for developing patience requires a multi-tiered approach.

Patience is both the tool for and the result of, our efforts.

You don't know how to talk to people you don't like. Don't love, really. You can't live in the world with such strong likes and dislikes.

The patient person accepts a certain amount of failure knowing that it is as important a thread in the fabric of life as is success. Great individuals make great successes out of failure.

Lack of confidence is what makes you want to change somebody else's mind. When you're OK, you don't need to convince anyone else in order to empower yourself.

When we know where the hungry, the homeless and the sick exist, then we can help.

I had a big background in listening to classical music and I started trying to compose, like I was playing the guitar but I heard an orchestra in my head.

Sly Stone doesn't make good albums: only good records. His style is so infinite and revolves around so many crucial aspects that it has only come together perfectly on a handful of his singles.

If you don't have your unconscious working for you, you're really out of luck as an artist.

I am fascinated a) by transgressive art and b) what happens beyond the boundaries.

From joy I came, for joy I live, in sacred joy I melt.

The most life destroying word of all is the word tomorrow.
