PATIENCE · VERIFIED QUOTE

Thomas Decker Quote

“Patience! why, it is the soul of peace; of all the virtues it is nearest kin to heaven; it makes men look like gods. The best of men that ever wore earth about Him was a Sufferer,—a soft, meek, patient, humble, tranquil spirit; the first true gentleman that ever breathed.”
