Do not teach your children never to be angry; teach them how to be angry and sin not.
Lyman Abbott Every great sin ought to rouse a great anger. Mob law is better than no law at all. A community which rises in its wrath to punish with misdirected anger a great wrong is in a healthier moral condition than a community which looks upon its perpetration with apathy and unconcern. Lyman Abbott There's nothing more dangerous than a resourceful idiot. Scott Raymond Adams As the ostrich when pursued hideth his head, but forgetteth his body; so the fears of a coward expose him to danger. Akhnaton [Ikhnaton or Akhenaton] Conceit spoils the finest genius. There is not much danger that real talent or goodness will be overlooked long; even if it is, the consciousness of possessing and using it well should satisfy one, and the great charm of all power is modesty.

Frank Moore Colby Many people lose their tempers merely from seeing you keep yours. Frank Moore Colby Heav'n has no Rage like Love to Hatred turn'd, Nor Hell a Fury, like a Woman scorn'd.

Lee Iacocca Speak when you are angry - and you'll make the best speech you'll ever regret. Laurence J. Peter The bare recollection of anger kindles anger. Publilius Syrus To observe people in conflict is a necessary part of a child's education. It helps him to understand and accept his own occasional hostilities and to realize that differing opinions need not imply an absence of love. Milton R. Sapirstein In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage. John Steinbeck When angry, count four; when very angry, swear. Mark Twain Usually when people are sad, they don't do anything. They just cry over their condition. But when they get angry, they bring about change. Malcolm X |
