Why this saying? I think because if you learn patience then you may learn the other virtues.
Agree? Ideas?
endurance, instead pray for wisdom.

So, to update your OP:
Patience is maybe a virtue, sometimes. And sometimes it's probably not.

One can be proactive and be patient . Deciciveness and bluntness are also reflections right-thinking which is learnt through patience ( and other things)

Originally posted by @karoly-aczelDisagree with what? I think what I said was about as uncontroversial and as bears-poo-in-the-woods as one can be.
I disagree. However I see the point you are making
Patience can be a virtue but it's not always the case.
Originally posted by @karoly-aczelI agree. Around 1 1/2 years ago I began a time consuming hobby of hand polishing Indonesian Black Amber. I believe the black on the surface is volcanic in origin. It is also the only black amber known. Slowly removing the black with sandpaper, a toothbrush and toothpaste is time consuming but as a balance is reached between the amber and the black material it is quite relaxing and beautiful. Knowledge of patience, understanding of patience, and wisdom of patience is the road. Namaste.

I disagree that patience is sometimes not a virtue. Hence the saying
