Important notice regarding translations of German texts and expressions into english

The rich and flexible vocabulary and structure of the German language makes it ideal for explaining and conveying any subject matter in all of its complexity, nuances and detail. No other language on Earth can match the German language in this regard. Therefore, the English language with its comparatively limited vocabulary, flexibility and structure is, as a language, a poor one and can never match the high value that is achieved with the German. Unfortunately, the English language has a great many meaningless religious words for corresponding neutral German terms. There is also a lack of

suitable forms of expression in English which means that the German forms must be expressed in a different wise by using synonyms in order to find an appropriate form of expression in English. As a result it is not possible to translate extracts from the books of Billy Eduard Albert Meier into English and convey everything that is in the original German text. The high value of the works from Billy Eduard Albert Meier can only be completely expressed and made comprehensible through the German language. The human beings of Earth shall strive to make the German language to the world language because it is the most valuable of all languages that are in use on Earth.

Origin of the German term patience

wikipedia:Geduld (patience) is going back to the Proto-Germanic Verbalabstrakt ga-thuldis. The verb has gone long since lost. It had probably the Indogerman verb root tol or. tla (to carry, to bear). One can find the root in the Latin verb fero, tuli, latum (from ferre), which means bringen (to bring) and tragen (to carry). Also the Greek words tlänai (to bear) tolman (to dare) and polytlas (to steadfast) belong in this context. The German verb to tolerate must not be placed in this line of these old forms; It was only later derived from the term Geduld. The term ertragen (tolerate) than found its way as a foreign word to the scientific Italian language

Billy, ‹Gesetze und Gebote des Verhaltens, Probleme des Lebens meistern›, page 269:Patience comes from the Indo-European root tol and from the old High German term ‹gidult›. Patience means that something will be beared.

Verses to Patience from the book ‹Goblet of the Truth› from ‹Billy› Eduard Albert Meier -Page 1-

● «Search for help in the patience and truth, which – although it may be difficult – will reward anyone who makes the effort »

‹Billy› Eduard Albert Meier, ‹Goblet of the Truth›, Chapter 2, Sentence 46

‹Billy› Eduard Albert Meier, ‹Goblet of the Truth›, Chapter 2, Sentence 86

● «Truly, you will all be tested by the appearance (nature) with anxiety and fear, hunger and loss of your goods and chattels and life and all that which is of nourishment, but when you are connected to patience then you will surely overcome all tests, because it is part and parcel of the life for things to go up and down, for good to alternate with bad, of which there can be no doubt; the message to the patient ones is, however, that all strivings yield good fruits and time will ultimately change everything to the good.»

Aphorisms on the term Patience, Achim Wolf

Patience

Patience is a difficult virtue, which - like all other virtues, skills and every abilty - must be relearned bit by bit every day and must be consolidated. But the reward of what is learned is a greater deliberation and thoughtfulness in all things and also indulgence to oneself and towards others and avoiding errors that would otherwise commit impatience.
