Ralph Waldo Emerson

Antisthenes

“The growth of wisdom may be gauged exactly by the diminution of ill temper.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“It opens the lungs, washes the countenance, exercises the eyes, and softens down the temper; so cry away.”
Charles Dickens
“A stubborn mind conduces as little to wisdom or even to knowledge, as a stubborn temper to happiness”
Robert Southey

Mark Twain
