Forbearance is the root of quietness and assurance forever.
Let thy step be slow and steady, that thou stumble not.
Life is like unto a long journey with a heavy burden.
Persuade thyself that imperfection and inconvenience are the natural lot of mortals, and there will be no room for discontent, neither for despair.
Patience means restraining one's inclinations.
After victory, tighten the cords of your helmet.
