Quote by Holbrook Jackson

Patience has its limits, take it too far and it's cowardice.

Patience has its limits, take it too far and it's cowardice.

Summary

This quote suggests that while patience is typically valued as a virtue, there is a point where being excessively patient can be seen as a form of cowardice. It implies that there is a fine line between being patient and being afraid to take action or stand up for oneself. In some situations, showing too much patience can be perceived as weakness or an unwillingness to confront or address a problem. Therefore, the quote reminds us that patience should be balanced with assertiveness and the ability to take appropriate action when necessary.

It's weird to have people so interested in your personal life. It's a part of the business that grosses me out. I'm always bummed out for people who just happen to be dating a celebrity, and they're also famous, and they can't live their life.
