The Sentence - is the unit of thought in a composition. It may be a word or a group of words, but the thought must be complete. To be grammatically complete a sentence must have a subject and a predicate.
The subject of a sentence is the word or words about which something is said or the word or words which answer the question who or what, the predicate tells something about the subject.
The Sentence - A group of words that expresses a complete meaning makes a sentence. In order to have a meaning two elements are necessary; a Subject, a person or thing to speak about, and a Predicate, something to say about the person or thing.

2. Love and patience are both godlike.
("Love and patience" is the subject | "are both godlike" is the predicate)
3. The heart of man is swayed by various emotions.
("The heart of man" is the subject | "is swayed by various emotions" is the predicate)
4. The girl in the old house felt lonesome every day last year.
