ANGER

• When a man sends you an impudent letter, sit right down and give it back to him with interest ten times compounded, and then throw both letters in the wastebasket.

• The worst-tempered people I've ever met were people who knew they were wrong.

• Speak when you are angry and you will make the best speech you will ever regret.

• Anger is a killing thing: it kills the man who angers, for each rage leaves him less than he had been before - it takes something from him.

• Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.
