If you are patient in one moment of anger, you will escape a hundred days of sorrow.

Any person capable of angering you becomes your master.

The greatest remedy for anger is delay.

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.

As I walked out the door to my freedom I knew that, if I did not leave all the anger, hatred and resentment behind, I would remain a prisoner.

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.

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.

There is but one thing of real value—to cultivate truth and justice, and to live without anger in the midst of lying and unjust men.

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.

Revenge and retaliation always perpetuate the cycle of anger, fear and violence.

Be patient where you sit in the dark. The dawn is coming.

Be patient with yourself. Self-growth is tender; it’s holy ground. There’s no greater investment.

Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.

Two of the hardest tests in life: The patience to wait for the right moment and the courage to accept whatever you encounter.

Real excellence does not come cheaply. A certain price must be paid in terms of practice, patience, and persistence—natural ability notwithstanding.

Many people resented my impatience and honesty, but I never cared about acceptance as much as I cared about respect.
