More on Anger
If you spend your time hoping someone will suffer the consequences for what they did to your heart, then you’re allowing them to hurt you a second time in your mind.
No man should be angry with what is true.
My anger is more likely to do me more harm than your wrong.
Any person capable of angering you becomes your master.
Usually when people are sad, they don’t do anything. They just cry over their condition. But when they get angry, they bring about a change.
Anger, resentment and jealousy doesn’t change the heart of others—it only changes yours.
Where there is charity and wisdom, there is neither fear nor ignorance. Where there is patience and humility, there is neither anger nor vexation. Where there is poverty and joy, there is neither greed nor avarice. Where there is peace and meditation, there is neither anxiety nor doubt.
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 and is not easy.
