I enjoyed this thought from Dan Galvin's Thought For The Day mailing list
"Patience serves as a protection against wrongs as clothes do against cold. For if you put on more clothes as the cold increases, it will have no power to hurt you. So in like manner you must grow in patience when you meet with great wrongs, and they will then be powerless to vex your mind."
-Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519)
Artist, architect and engineer

Dan added: "Or as Herr Kemper is wont to say, 'Patience is a virtue.'"
I poked around a bit and found this reference which claims the origin of "Patience is a virtue." goes back to the 1300s.
