Anger

1. Men often make up in wrath what they want in reason.

2. Anger makes dull men witty, but it keeps them poor.

3. An angry man opens his mouth and shuts up his eyes.
                                                                                        -Cato

4. Never answer a letter while you are angry.
                                                                    -Chinese Proverb

5. When angry, count four;when very angry, swear.
                                                                 -Samuel L. Clemens 
                                                                      (Mark Twain),
                                                                  Pudd'nhead Wilson

6. Heaven has no rage, like love to hatred turned,
    Nor Hell a fury, like a women scorned.
                                                                                   -Congreve

7. Beware the fury of a patient man.
                                                                  -Dryden, Absalom and

10. He that is slow to anger is better than mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit then he that taketh a city.
