“Anger is never without a reason, but seldom with a good one”
Benjamin Franklin
“An angry man is again angry with himself, when he returns to reason”
Publilius Syrus
“If by any effort of reason I could conceive how God, Who shows so much anger and iniquity, could be merciful and just, there would be no need of faith”
Martin Luther
“Anger, even when it punishes the faults of delinquents, ought not to precede reason as its mistress, but attend as a handmaid at the back of reason, to come to the front when bidden. For once it begins to take control of the mind, it calls just what it does cruelly.”
George William Curtis
“Every action must be due to one or other of seven causes: chance, nature, compulsion, habit, reasoning, anger, or appetite.”
Aristotle
“As every man is hunted by his own daemon, vexed by his own disease, this checks all his activity.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Man is a rational animal who always loses his temper when he is called upon to act in accordance with the dictates of reason.”
Oscar Wilde
