I'm not really easy to live with! There needs to be unlimited patience and unconditional love. Men I've known before loved my independent spirit and were proud of my success to the point that they'd become jealous of the time I devote to my career.

Patience is passion tamed.

I think God's really blessed me with patience. I'm good with a lot of things going on at once.

My impression is that most women public service workers have a long fuse. Precisely because they care so deeply about services more than anyone they still want to find a sensible and fair negotiated agreement. But their patience has run out.

Work hard. And have patience. Because no matter who you are you're going to get hurt in your career and you have to be patient to get through the injuries.

Sad Patience too near neighbour to despair.

My advice to someone to follow in my footsteps is to have patience. I've been doing this for twelve years.
