Patience adorns the soul with diamonds which are not of the earth but belong to the Jerusalem that is above. Patience is a sweet word. Patience is a sweet breath. Patience is an invincible weapon. Patience is a priceless adornment of man. Patience is a blessing of God.
St. Raphael of Lesvos, St. Nicholas of Lesvos and St. Irene of Lesvos, Modern Orthodox Saints
