Impatience
2 Timothy 2:24
And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle to all men, apt to teach, patient,


Antony, the hermit, heard praise of a certain brother; but when he tested him he found that he was impatient under injury. Quoth Antony, "Thou art like a house which has a gay porch, but is broken into by thieves through the back door."

(C. Kingsley.)
