Patience is required:

"My Lords, I have submitted to you, with the freedom and truth which I
think my duty, my sentiments on your present awful situation. I have laid
before you the ruin of your power, the disgrace of your reputation, the
pollution of your discipline, the contamination of your morals, the
complication of calamities, foreign and domestic, that overwhelm your
sinking country. Your dearest interests, your own liberties, the
Constitution itself totters to the foundation. All this disgraceful danger,
this multitude of misery, is the monstrous offspring of this unnatural war.
We have been deceived and deluded too long. Let us now stop short. This is
the crisis—the only crisis of time and situation, to give us a possibility
of escape from the fatal effects of our delusions. But if, in an obstinate
and infatuated perseverance in folly, we slavishly echo the peremptory
words this day presented to us, nothing can save this devoted country from
complete and final ruin."

Lord Chatham (William Pitt the elder) to House of Lords, 1777
