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.

http://www.wisdomquotes.com/002259.html 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.

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.
http://www.wisdomquotes.com/000161.html James Thurber:
Let us not look back in anger or forward in fear, but around in awareness.
http://www.wisdomquotes.com/000214.html 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.
http://www.wisdomquotes.com/001234.html 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
