When I came across this verse from an early sampler, "Patience is Bitter, But its Fruit is Sweet," I knew it should be incorporated into a pattern and used as a reminder in our modern day lives.  Everyone needs some extra motivation when contemplating or working through a hard or massive task and there is nothing sweeter than the satisfaction of accomplishment as a result of patience.
