When
anger rises, think of the consequences. The wind of anger blows out the lamp of intelligence.
Holding on to anger, resentment and hurt only gives you tense
muscles, a headache and a sore jaw from clenching your teeth. Forgiveness gives you back
the laughter and the lightness in your life. When you feel "dog tired" at night, it may be because you
growled all day.
The
best remedy for anger is delay.
Anger is never without a reason, but seldom a good one. Anger makes dull men witty, but it keeps them poor.
Anger is always more harmful than the insult that
caused it. Anger is a bad adviser.
Anybody can become angry, that is easy; but to be angry with the
right person, and to the right degree, and at the right time, and for the right purpose,
and in the right way, that is not within everybody's power, that is not easy. A
fool gives full vent to his anger, but a wise man keeps himself under
control. Anger helps strengthen out a problem like a fan helps straighten out a pile
of papers.
