control you.

is a waste of time to ask who are guilty.

Fear not the anger of the wise to raise;
Those best can fear reproof who merit praise.

Anger wishes that all mankind had only one neck; love, that it
had only one heart; grief, two tear-glands; and pride, two bent
knees.

Anger is a noble infirmity; the generous failing of the just; the one degree that riseth above zeal, asserting the prerogative of virtue.
Martin Farquhar Tupper

|
Anger ventilated often hurries towards forgiveness; anger concealed often hardens into revenge.
Sir Henry Bulwer
Quotes
|
Anger is the most impotent of passions. It effects nothing it goes about, and hurts the one who is possessed by it more than the one against whom it is directed.
Edward Hyde Clarendon
Quotes
|
Anger and humor are like the left and right arm. They complement each other. Anger empowers the poor to declare their uncompromising opposition to oppression, and humor prevents them from being consumed by their fury.
James H. Cone
Quotes
|
Anger makes us strong, Blind and impatient, And it leads us wrong; The strength is quickly lost; We feel the error long.

|
Anger, even when it punishes the faults of delinquents, ought not to precede reason as its mistress, but attend as a handmaid at the back of reason, to come to the front when bidden. For once it begins to take control of the mind, it calls just, what it does cruelly.
Saint Gregory I
