Michelle Obama on patience as a virtue: (quote) “…if we see Mandela as hope, and we see the slowness (of change) not as a reason to stop and be impatient, but just to keep moving and not get caught up in the immediacy. There (the immediacy) the only thing that happens in an instant is destruction…” (end of quote)
