Patience, Persistence, and Faith Quotes

I'm a big fan of quotes. Sometimes just a simple quote can give me something positive to focus on as I go through a tough time, or an extra boost when I need it to keep pushing toward my goals.

These quotes are all intended to remind us that faith can move mountains, patience is a virtue, and persistence does pay off. I hope they help you to stay the course in your journey.
