1. “There are great challenges ahead of us, giant opportunities to be met. I
welcome that exciting prospect and feel to say to the Lord, humbly, ‘give me
this mountain,’ give me these challenges.” (Henry B. Eyring “Mountains to Climb”
May 2012 Ensign).
2. “Now, I wish to encourage those who
are in the midst of hard trials, who feel their faith may be fading under the
onslaught of troubles. Trouble itself can be your way to strengthen, and
finally gain unshakable faith.” (Henry B. Eyring “Mountains to Climb” May 2012
Ensign).

"It is my prayer that patience will be a defining characteristic of we who
hold the priesthood of Almighty God; that we will courageously trust the Lord's
promises and His timing; that we will act toward others with the patience and
compassion we seek for ourselves; and that we will continue in patience until
we are perfected." , "Continue in Patience," May
2010 Ensign)
4.
“We should learn to be patient with ourselves. Recognizing our strengths and
our weaknesses, we should strive to use good judgment in all of our choices and
decisions, make good use of every opportunity, and do our best in every task we
undertake. We should not be unduly discouraged nor in despair at any time when
we are doing the best we can. Rather, we should be satisfied with our progress
even though it may come slowly at times.”, “Patience, a Key to Happiness,” May
1987 Ensign)
5.
“Life is full of difficulties, some minor and others of a more serious nature.
There seems to be an unending supply of challenges for one and all. Our problem
is that we often expect instantaneous solutions to such challenges, forgetting
that frequently the heavenly virtue of patience is required.”(, “Patience,
a Heavenly Virtue”, September 2002 Ensign)
6. "Patience means active waiting and enduring. It means staying with something and doing all that we can - working hoping, and exercising faith; bearing hardship with fortitude, even when the desires of our hearts are delayed." (Dieter F. Uchtdorf, "Patience is Active Enduring" May 2010 Ensign)
7. "Patience may well be thought of as a gateway virtue, contributing to the growth and strength of its fellow virtues of forgiveness, tolerance, and faith." (Elder Robert C. Oaks, "The Power of Patience," October 2006 General Conference)
8. "Excellence does not come easily or quickly --an excellent education does not, a successful mission does not, a strong, loving marriage does not, rewarding personal relationships do not. It is simply a truism that nothing very valuable can come without significant sacrifice, effort, and patience on our part." (Jeffery R. Holland, "Created for Greater Things)
9. "Revelation need not all come at once. It may be incremental. 'Saith the Lord God: I will give unto the children of men line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little and there a little; and blessed are those who hearken unto my precepts, and lend an ear unto my counsel, for they shall learn wisdom; for unto him that receiveth I will give more'. Patience and perseverance are part of our eternal progression." (Russel M. Nelson, "Ask, Seek, Knock" November 2009 Ensign)
10. "Patience--the ability to put our desires on hold for a time-- is a precious and rare virtue. We want what we want, and we want it now. Therefore, the very idea of patience may seem unpleasant and, at times, bitter. Nevertheless, without patience, we cannot please God; we cannot be perfect. Indeed, patience is a purifying process that refines understanding, deepens happiness focuses action, and offers hope for peace." (Dieter F. Uchtdorf, 'Continue in Patience' May 2010 Ensign
