Wisdom Quotes
Aristotle:
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, that is not easy.
Wisdom Quotes
Elizabeth Kenny:
My mother used to say, "He who angers you, conquers you!" But my
mother was a saint.
Wisdom Quotes
Eric Hoffer:
The remarkable thing is that we really love our neighbor as
ourselves: we do unto others as we do unto ourselves. We hate others
when we hate ourselves. We are tolerant toward others when we
tolerate ourselves. We forgive others when we forgive ourselves. We
are prone to sacrifice others when we are ready to sacrifice
ourselves.
Wisdom Quotes Frederick Buechner:
Of the Seven Deadly Sins, anger is possibly the most fun. To lick
your wounds, to smack your lips over grievances long past, to roll
over your tongue the prospect of bitter confrontations still to
come, to savor to the last toothsome morsel both the pain you are
given and the pain you are giving back -- in many ways it is a feast
fit for a king. The chief drawback is that what you are wolfing down
is yourself. The skeleton at the feast is you.
Wisdom Quotes
James Thurber:
Let us not look back in anger or forward in fear, but around in
awareness.
Wisdom Quotes
Thomas a Kempis:
Be not angry that you cannot make others as you wish them to be,
since you cannot make yourself as you wish to be.
Wisdom Quotes
William Blake:
I was angry with my friend
I told my wrath, my wrath did end.
I was angry with my foe:
I told it not, my wrath did grow.
A Poison Tree
