"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." - Federick Buechner

"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." - Eric Hoffer

"He who angers you conquers you" - Elizabeth Kenny

"Let us not look back in anger or forward in fear, but around in awareness" - James Thurber

"How much more grievous are the consequences of anger than the causes of it" - Marcus Aurelius

"Control your emotion or it will control you" - Samurai Maxim

"Be not angry that you cannot make others as you wish them to be, since you cannot make yourself as you wish to be" - Thomas A. Kempis

"Nothing is so strong as gentleness, and nothing is as gentle as real strength." - Ralph W. Sockman

" 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. " - William Blake
