English Synonyms and Antonyms
patience
Patience is the quality or habit of mind shown in bearing passively and uncomplainingly any pain, evil, or hardship that may fall to one's lot. Endurance hardens itself against suffering, and may be merely stubborn; fortitude is endurance animated by courage; endurance may by modifiers be made to have a passive force, as when we speak of "passive endurance;" patience is not so hard as endurance nor so self-effacing as submission. Submission is ordinarily and resignation always applied to matters of great moment, while patience may apply to slight worries and annoyances. As regards our relations to our fellow men, forbearance is abstaining from retaliation or revenge; patience is keeping kindliness of heart under vexatious conduct; long-suffering is continued patience. Patience may also have an active force denoting uncomplaining steadiness in doing, as in tilling the soil. Compare INDUSTRY.

How to use patience in a sentence?
Patience isn’t what it used to be. Kindness just isn’t there. Not everyone is that way, but you see it more, and there never is a point where you threaten physical violence to any coach, player, or referee. It’s still a game, and we should be teaching our kids good sportsmanship and good citizenship.
Democratic Rep. Peter DeFazio:
Roseburg is a small, tight-knit community, it’ll take time and our patience as they grieve and recover. We call that UCC Strong. Roseburg strong.
Garrett is, or was, the most selfless person I knew. Always there as kind of my confidante, my brother, he put up with me. I kind of was pushing him probably over the edge at times, and he always had the patience to calm me down, and Kurt Aichele know we worked together like brother and sister would.
All commend patience, but none can endure to suffer.
Before the doors to your wishes is opened. Your patience and strength will be tested by the universe.
