**ANGER**

Anyone can become angry - that is easy. But to be angry with the right person, to the right degree, at the right time, for the right purpose, and in the right way; this is not easy.





Chinese Proverb


"If you are patient in one moment of anger, you will escape a hundred days of sorrow."





Anon


"Anger is not only inevitable, but it is necessary. For in it?s place is indifference, the worst of all human qualities."





Mitch Albom


Holding anger is a poison. It eats you from inside. We think that hating is a weapon that attacks the person who harmed us. But hatred is a curved blade. And the harms we do, we do to ourselves.





Elizabeth Kenny


"He who angers you conquers you."



Angry men are blind and foolish, for reason at such a time takes flight and, in her absence, wrath plunders all the riches of the intellect, while the judgment remains the prisoner of its own pride.





William Congreve


"Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned,
Nor hell a fury like a woman scorned."





Oprah Winfrey


What Ive learned about being angry with people is that it generally hurts you more than it hurts them.





Harriet Goldhor Lerner


Anger is a tool for change when it challenges us to become more of an expert on the self and less of an expert on others. . . .If, however, we do not use our anger to define ourselves clearly in every important relationship we are in--and manage our feelings as they arise--no one else will assume this responsibility for us.





Frank Moore Colby


Many people lose their tempers merely from seeing you keep yours.

William Butler Yeats


"One should not lose one?s temper unless one is certain of getting more and more angry to the end."





Bede Jarrett


"The world needs anger. The world often continues to allow evil because it isn?t angry enough."





Marcus Aurelius


"How much more grievous are the consequences of anger than the causes of it."





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.





George Eliot


"Anger and jealousy can no more bear to lose sight of their objects than love."







Virgil


Impotent fury rages powerless and to no purpose.





Smiley Blanton


If we are deprived of our just due, we naturally experience emotions of anger.
