Rainer Maria Rilke Patience Quotations

Have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves ... Don't search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point it, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps, then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer.

Make your ego porous. Will is of little importance, complaining is nothing, fame is nothing. Openness, patience, receptivity, solitude is everything.

If you are patient in one moment of anger, you will escape a hundred days of sorrow

I learn it every day of my life, learn it with pain I am grateful for: patience is everything!

Perhaps then, some day far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer.

I have patience for centuries in me and will live as though my time were very big.

Openness, patience, receptivity, solitude is everything.
