“Temperate temperance is best; intemperate temperance injures the cause of temperance”
Mark Twain
“There are only two people who can tell you the truth about yourself - an enemy who has lost his temper and a friend who loves you dearly.”
Antisthenes
“Being forced to work, and forced to do your best, will breed in you temperance and self-control, diligence and strength of will, cheerfulness and content, and a hundred virtues which the idle will never know.”
Charles Kingsley
“As the sword of the best tempered metal is most flexible, so the truly generous are most pliant and courteous in their behavior to their inferiors”
Thomas Fuller
“Have a heart that never hardens, and a temper that never tires, and a touch that never hurts.”
Charles Dickens
“It takes me along time to lose my temper, but once lost I could not find it with a dog”
“It opens the lungs, washes the countenance, exercises the eyes, and softens down the temper; so cry away.”
