Genius is eternal patience. -Michelangelo

The virtue of patience is the one, which most assures us of perfection. -St Francis De Sales

Patience makes lighter what sorrow may not heal. -Horace

Patience is passion tamed. -Lyman Abbott

Whosoever is out of patience is out of possession of his mind, body and soul. -Sir Francis Bacon

Have patience with all things, but chiefly have patience with yourself. Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections, but instantly set about remedying them, every day begin the task anew. -Saint Francis de Sales

Let nothing disturb you; let nothing frighten you, though all things pass, God does not change. Patience wins all things. But he lacks nothing who possesses God; for God alone suffices. -St. Theresa of Avila

Face your deficiencies and acknowledge them; but do not let them master you. Let them teach you patience, sweetness, and insight. -Helen Keller

Ronald Reagan's success was no secret at all. It was his character, his courage, his kindness, his persistence, his honesty, and his almost heroic patience in the face of setbacks. That was the most important element of his success. –Peggy Noonan

Rely on the ordinary virtues that intelligent, balanced human beings have relied on for centuries: common sense, thrift, realistic expectations, patience, and perseverance. -John C. Bogle

Wrong. What we need to do is what the dems did after their defeat - not become the party of the minority but to be the party of the opposition.

We must oppose every piece of legislation, appoinment and action of the government.

Show some backbone.

Let's hope GWB's veto pen sees a bit more action.

But that certainly wouldn't be difficult.

There you go. I was waiting for someone to slap down this article and its recipe for defeat.

Now is the time to strike. Bush or no Bush. Time to start taking down the dems one by one, through the AG's office with investigating corruption, compliling a political hit list to use at the right moment.

Remember, although Tet was a victory, it became a defeat. Make this election the Dem's Tet offensive.

We don't need patience. We need a house cleaning starting with Hasstert, Bohiner, Blunt, Ken Melman.

Get rid of the Check Pants Republicians who brought this disaster upon us.

Remember the T-shirt with two buzzards on it?
