Top 10 Quotes about Patience (that I haven’t been practicing lately)

Patience is the overarching theme here, so I have gathered some inspiration about this topic from the experts. In the meantime, I’ll work on practicing more patience and enjoying the small victories that are absolutely happening each day.
