Patient Presents

Famous quotes containing the words patient and/or presents:

“By rights, satire is a lonely and introspective occupation, for nobody can describe a fool to the life without much patient self-inspection.”
—Frank Moore Colby (1865–1925)

“The work of adult life is not easy. As in childhood, each step presents not only new tasks of development but requires a letting go of the techniques that worked before. With each passage some magic must be given up, some cherished illusion of safety and comfortably familiar sense of self must be cast off, to allow for the greater expansion of our distinctiveness.”
—Gail Sheehy (20th century)
