Yesterday when I was sitting with my mother and we were reminiscing about her late father and my grandfather, she recollected the advice which he gave her on one occasion when she was extremely angry at something even though her temper was completely justified. He said:
If you are in the right you need not lose your temper and if you are in the wrong you cannot afford to lose your temper.
Words of wisdom well spoken, wouldn't you agree? Here is what some others have said about anger:
- Speak when you are angry and you'll make the best speech you'll ever regret - Dr. Laurence J. Peter, Amwerican educator, writer.
- Anger is never without a reason, but seldom with a good one - Benjamin Franklin, American statesman, philosopher.
- Anger will never disappear so long as thoughts of resentment are cherished in the mind. Anger will disappear just as soon as thoughts of resentment are forgotten - Prince Gautama Siddharta, the founder of Buddhism, 563-483 BC.
- In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move - Douglas Adams, British comic writer.
- Anger blows out the lamp of the mind - Robert Green Ingersoll, American statesman.
