It is wise to direct your anger towards problems—not people; to focus your energies on answers—not excuses.

To a greater force, and to a better nature, you, free, are subject, and that creates the mind in you, which the heavens have not in their charge. Therefore if the present world go astray, the cause is in you, in you it is to be sought.

Blame it or praise it, there is no denying the wild horse in us.

You can’t change how people treat you or what they say about you. All you can do is change how you react to it.

Never trouble another for what you can do for yourself.

Everybody, sooner or later, sits down to a banquet of consequences.

We must reject the idea that every time a law's broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.

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.

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.

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.

Any person capable of angering you becomes your master.

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.
