It is good to exercise patience. But never let your patience be the type that will keep you refrained from acting.

About This Quote

Patience is a virtue, but it can also be an enemy. It can make us passive and not take action when we should. Patience is good when it helps you to wait for the results of your actions. It is not good when it keeps you from acting on what you know you must do.
