The pillar of reason is forbearance.دعامةُ العقلِ الحِلمُ

دعامة العقل الحلم
The support of the dream mind

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
«دعامةُ العقلِ الحِلمُ» معناها: أن الحِلم وضبط النفس هما أساس العقل ورزانته؛ فالعاقل لا يستسلم للغضب والانفعال، بل يتأنى ويضبط نفسه.
ومن أقرب المقابلات الإنجليزية: Patience is the companion of wisdom.
= الصبر قرين الحكمة.
Wisdom comes with patience.
= الحكمة تأتي مع الصبر.
A cool head is a wise head.
= العقل الهادئ عقل حكيم.
Self-control is the mark of wisdom.
= ضبط النفس علامة الحكمة.
وإذا أردنا مثلاً إنجليزيًا مأثورًا قريبًا من الفكرة، فالأفضل:
He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty.
وهو تعبير كتابي قديم قريب جدًا من معنى الحِلم وقوة ضبط النفس.
أما من حيث الصياغة المثلية المختصرة، فأرشح:
A cool head is a wise head.
أي: «العقل الهادئ عقل حكيم.»
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Patience is the foundation of reason" means that patience and self-control are the basis of reason and composure. A wise person does not succumb to anger and impulsiveness, but rather remains calm and exercises self-control.
Some of the closest English equivalents are:
Patience is the companion of wisdom.
Wisdom comes with patience.
A cool head is a wise head.
Self-control is the mark of wisdom.
If we want a well-known English proverb close to the idea, the best is:
He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty.
This is an old biblical expression very close to the meaning of patience and self-control.
As for a concise proverbial formulation, I recommend:
A cool head is a wise head.
That is, "A cool head is a wise head."
