Patience is ...(something negative) Explanation: Patience is … (smth. negative) Three English proverbs that do not admire by patience. They are much weaker than the Russian, but not translation. From Encyclopedia of World Proverbs by Wolfgang Mieder, 1986 Prentice – Hall pp 362-363 12082. He preaches patience that never knew pain. 12095. Patience is a flower that grows not in every garden. 12096. Patience is a good nag, but she’ll bolt.
