I worked with patience which means almost power.

And I must bear
What is ordained with patience, being aware
Necessity doth front the universe
With an invincible gesture.

Like Patience gazing on kings' graves, and smiling
Extremity out of act.

She sat like patience on a monument
Smiling at grief.

How poor are they that have not patience!
What wound did ever heal but by degrees?

Had it pleas'd heaven
To try me with affliction * * *
I should have found in some place of my soul
A drop of patience.
-- William Shakespeare, Othello (c. 1603), Act IV, scene 2, line 47.
