Americans have less and less patience for the intrusive and divisive moral scolds who thrived in the bubbles of the Clinton and Bush years.

I've always been a person with patience, and I don't like to force things.

It seems likely that many of the young who don't wait for others to call them artists, but simply announce that they are, don't have the patience to make art.

Tolerance, compromise, understanding, acceptance, patience - I want those all to be very sharp tools in my shed.

Patience means restraining one's inclinations.
