Sad Patience, too near neighbour to despair.

Summary

This quote suggests that sadness and patience are closely intertwined, so much so that they may even verge on despair. It implies that when one experiences a prolonged period of sadness, they may find themselves succumbing to despair, which is a feeling of complete hopelessness. This short statement shines a light on the delicate balance between maintaining patience in difficult situations and the risk of losing all hope. It serves as a reminder to be cautious and mindful of how long one can patiently endure before reaching a breaking point.
