Patience is fed on hope, it stands on the feet of hope. As long as there is hope, there is patience; and, when hope is gone, then there is no more patience. We say, "I have no more patience; it is finished."

Hazrat Inayat Khan in The Heart of Sufism by H. J. Witteveen

 

To Practice This Thought:
When you are feeling impatient, look deeply to see if you have given up hope about something.
