On Anger

        
         
         
   Anger punishes itself. 
   
   
   
   Though very troublesome to others, anger is most so to him that 
   has it. 

                                 
     
   An angry man opens his mouth and shuts his eyes. 
   
   
   
   Anger and haste hinder good counsel. 
   
   

   Anger manages everything badly. 



   Anger may glance into the breast of a wise man, but rests only 
   in the bosom of fools. 
                                                         
 

   Angry words fan the fire like wind. 



   Wrath avoideth no quarrel. 



   Be not quick to take offense: Anger is a foe to sense. 



   An angry man is a man in a fever. 



   Grow angry slowly;  there's plenty of time. 
      


   The end of wrath is the beginning of repentance. 



   Whatever is begun in anger ends in shame. 



   Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in 
   the bosom of fools. 
                                                      Eccl. 7:9    



   Cease from anger and forsake wrath. 

                                         Psalms 37:8




   He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: 
    But he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.
        
                                                Prov 14:29




   A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment:
    For if you deliver him, yet you must do it again.

                                            Prov 19:19




   Whoever has no rule over his own spirit 
    Is like a city broken down, without walls.

   He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, 
    And he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.

    But he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.

   The greatest remedy for anger is delay. 

                          Seneca




   Wise anger is like a fire from the flint;  there is a great ado 
   to bring it out; and when it does come, it is out again 
   immediately.

   All anger is not sinful, because some degree of it, and on some 
   occasions, is inevitable.  But it becomes sinful and 
   contradicts the rule of Scripture when it is conceived upon 
   slight provocation, and when it continues long. 

                                                 Paley




   When passion is on the throne, reason is out of doors.
