William Butler Yeats

“One should not lose one’s temper unless one is certain of getting more and more angry to the end.”


Oprah Winfrey

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


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.


Elizabeth Kenny

“He who angers you conquers you.”


George Eliot (­Marion Evans Cross

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


Bede Jarrett

“The world needs anger. The world often continues to allow evil because it isn’t angry enough.”


William Congreve

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


Aristotle

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.


Marcus Aurelius

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


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.


Anon

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


Chinese Proverb

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