Patience

Patience is
- to endure which is on the way
- to be able to (a)wait
- to be able to love.

-

"Love is long-suffering and kind;
it rejoices in the truth
bears all things,
hopes all things,
endures all things.
Love never fails; but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail;
whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part.
But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is imperfect shall come to an end.
For now we see through a mirror, darkly; but then face to face.
Now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love."
[the Bible, 1Corinthians - Chapter 13]
