yes; patience as in being calm, peaceful, and content that way. but not in the way that someone lets another take advantage of them because of being meek and mild, or 'putting up' with things they shouldn't have to. That's a weakness you're not doing anything about. letting yourself be pushed around by others is not being patient. the most patient people i know are not push overs, they're powerful, determined and often persistent to work for their goals, but they dont let themselves become upset about things not going the way they had planned. they still try everything, but just dont loose contentment with what they have. They dont sit around 'patiently' waiting for some great thing to happen to them. So, yes i'd deffinitely say patience is a great virtue.

Yes, patience is an attribute, but so are laziness, greed, beauty, and grace.
However, if you meant to say, "Is patience a Virtue?" then yes I'd say it is...and obviously it is a virtue that I should try harder to cultivate.
Good luck, Sweet Cakes.

Yes, of course, patience is an attribute. In this age of speed and fast pace, it takes a lot of patience to simply wait, to bear with those who are "slower", to explain the latest technology to the elderly, to pace oneself when reaching for goals and dreams.

Patience is an attribute we must have. It is like silence in music where the silent intervals are not absence of music but are essential for the rhythm.

Patience has an expiry date. Too much and too little patience is the experience of suffering.

Hi.I don't think patience is an attribute.I think patience has to be learned instead of being ascribed to a person.

Depends.
Patience can be a virtue but it can also be a form of procrastination. Vacillating on something important can hardly be called an attribute.
