ANGER

Thomas Carlyle
No person is important enough to make me angry.

Buddha
Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.

Confucius
When anger rises, think of the consequences.

Doug Horton
No one can drive us crazy unless we give them the keys.

Ambrose Bierce
Speak when you are angry and you will make the best speech you will ever regret.

Mark Twain
When you are angry, count to four; when very angry, swear.

Ashleigh Brilliant
The sweetest form of revenge is to win the love of your enemy.

Mary Ann Evans (alias George Eliot)
Anger and jealousy can no more bear to lose sight of their objects than love.

Doug Horton
While seeking revenge, dig two graves – one for yourself.

Colin Powell
Get mad, and then get over it.

Guy Finley
To be angry is to suffer. It burns. Anger ruins relationships, causes heartache and regret, and devastates health. And yet, in spite of that, when you are angry, it feels right. Anger feels like it is in your best interest because it temporarily fills you with a powerful false sense of self. Yet, it is never in your best interest to suffer. Anger hypnotizes you. Step back and learn instead to listen to the quiet stream of higher insight that runs softly through your true nature. Let it show you that your anger and suffering proves nothing.
