Leonardo da Vinci: Patience serves us against insults precisely as clothes do against the cold…
Patience serves us against insults precisely as clothes do against the cold. For if you multiply your garments as the cold increases, that cold cannot hurt you; in the same way increase your patience under great offences, and they cannot hurt your feelings.
In today’s wordsPatience protects us against insults the way clothes protect us against cold. If you add layers as the cold increases, the cold can't hurt you; in the same way, increase your patience under great offenses, and they can't hurt your feelings.
