The suffering of afflictions, pain, toil,
calamity, provocation or other evil,
with a calm, unruffled temper;
endurance without murmuring or fretfulness.
Patience may spring from constitutional fortitude,
from a kind of heroic pride,
or from christian submission to the divine will.
{Webster’s 1828 Dictionary}
