It cannot be recalled. It is already
Sealed up in heaven, as a good deed accomplished.
The rest is yours.
--LONGFELLOW.
Millions of spiritual creatures walk the earth
Unseen, both when we wake and when we sleep.
--MILTON.
ANGER.--And to be wroth with one we love
Doth work like madness in the brain.
--COLERIDGE.
Anger is implanted in us as a sort of sting, to make us gnash with our
teeth against the devil, to make us vehement against him, not to set
us in array against each other.
When anger rushes unrestrain'd to action,
Like a hot steed, it stumbles in its way.
--SAVAGE.
Lamentation is the only musician that always, like a screech-owl,
alights and sits on the roof of an angry man.--PLUTARCH.
He is a fool who cannot be angry; but he is a wise man who will
not.--SENECA.
Men in rage strike those that wish them best.--SHAKESPEARE.
Men often make up in wrath what they want in reason.--W.R. ALGER.
Anger is the most impotent passion that accompanies the mind of man;
it effects nothing it goes about; and hurts the man who is possessed
by it more than any other against whom it is directed.--CLARENDON.
When angry, count ten before you speak; if very angry, a hundred.
--JEFFERSON.
An angry man opens his mouth and shuts up his eyes.--CATO.
When a man is wrong and won't admit it, he always gets angry.
--HALIBURTON.
Let not the sun go down upon your wrath.--EPHESIANS 4:26.
Anger begins with folly and ends with repentance.--PYTHAGORAS.
Anger causes us often to condemn in one what we approve of in
another.--PASQUIER QUESNEL.
ANXIETY.--Better to be despised for too anxious apprehensions than
ruined by too confident a security.--BURKE.
Can your solicitude alter the cause or unravel the intricacy of human
events?--BLAIR.
Almost all men are over-anxious. No sooner do they enter the world
than they lose that taste for natural and simple pleasures so
remarkable in early life. Every hour do they ask themselves what
progress they have made in the pursuit of wealth or honor; and on they
go as their fathers went before them, till, weary and sick at heart,
they look back with a sigh of regret to the golden time of their
childhood.--ROGERS.
Nothing in life is more remarkable than the unnecessary anxiety which
we endure and generally occasion ourselves.--BEACONS
