Quote by Leonardo DaVinci

Patience serves as a protection against wrongs as clothes do against cold. For if you put on more clothes as the cold increases, it will have no power to hurt you. So in like manner you must grow in patience when you meet with great wrongs, and they will be powerless to vex your mind.

Patience serves as a protection against wrongs as clothes do

Summary

This quote highlights the idea that patience functions as a shield against the harm caused by wrongdoings, just as clothes protect us from the cold. Just as wearing more layers can nullify the impact of the increasing coldness, developing patience can weaken the ability of great wrongs to distress and upset us mentally. By growing in patience, we can maintain composure and resilience, minimizing the impact of adversities on our state of mind.
