Anger is one of the sinners of the soul. It's my rule never to lose my temper until it would be detrimental to keep it. Never go to bed mad. Stay up and fight. Never forget what a man says to you when he is angry. Who can refute a sneer? I never work better than when I am inspired by anger; for when I am angry, I can write, pray, and preach well, for then my whole temperament is quickened, my understanding sharpened, and all mundane vexations and temptations depart. There is no passion so much transports the sincerity of judgement as doth anger. Don't get mad, get even. Beware the fury of a patient man. I was angry with my friend: I told my wrath, my wrath did end. I was angry with my foe: I told it not, my wrath did grow. A good indignation brings out all one's powers. Anger makes dull men witty, but it keeps them poor. Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, Nor hell a fury like a woman scorned. Anger as soon as fed is dead - Tis starving makes it fat. Many people lose their tempers merely from seeing you keep yours. Men often make up in wrath what they want in reason. Anger makes dull men witty, but it keeps them poor. An angry man opens his mouth and shuts up his eyes. Never answer a letter while you are angry. When angry, count four; when very angry, swear. Heav'n has no rage, like love to hatred turn'd, Nor Hell a fury, like a woman scorn'd. Beware the fury of a patient man. Anger is momentary madness, so control your passion or it will control you. Anger blows out the lamp of the mind. In the examination of a great and important question, every one should be serene, slow-pulsed, and calm. He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city. |
