Forbearance

Forbearance Quotes

"Forbearance is the root of quietness and assurance forever."
Ieyasu Tokugawa

"We should meet abuse by forbearance. Human nature is so constituted that if we take absolutely no notice of anger or abuse, the person indulging in it will soon weary of it and stop."
Ghandi

�The tree can teach you forbearance and tolerance. It offers shade to all, irrespective of age, sex or religion, nationality or status. It helps with fruit and shade even to the foe who lays his axe on its trunk!"
Sri Sathya Sai Baba

"No other weapon has the power of forbearance. It should not be used only as an individual instrument. It has to be experienced collectively also. That is the reason why the scripture has commended collective forbearance at the very outset of the spiritual quest. What is its inner meaning? "
Sri Sathya Sai Baba

"Anger can be subdued only by forbearance and cruelty can be overcome only by nonviolence."
Sri Sathya Sai Baba
