Patience
The slow virtue — the one every tradition treats as the proof that the soul has anchored, not merely settled.
Judaism
"Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit."
"Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him..."
Christianity
"...we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;"
"Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth..."
Islam
"O you who have believed, seek help through patience and prayer. Indeed, Allah is with the patient."
Taoism
