PATIENCE
Do not say: “I cannot endure to suffer these things at the hands of such an one, nor ought I to endure things of this sort; for he hath done me great wrong, and reproacheth me with things which I never thought of; but of another I will willingly suffer, that is, if they are things which I shall sec I ought to suffer.” Such a thought is foolish; it considereth not the virtue of patience, nor by whom it will be to be crowned; but, rather, weigheth too exactly the persons and the injuries offered to itself. lie is not truly patient who is willing to suffer only so much as he thinks good and from whom he pleases.—Tliouias A Kempis.
