Heaven has no
rage like love to hatred turned, Nor hell a fury like a
woman scorned.
-- William Congreve
1670-1729, British Dramatist
Anger, even
when it punishes the faults of delinquents, ought not to
precede reason as its mistress, but attend as a handmaid at
the back of reason, to come to the front when bidden. For
once it begins to take control of the mind, it calls just
what it does cruelly.
-- George William Curtis
1824-1892, American
Journalist
He who holds
back rising anger like a rolling chariot, him I call a real
driver; other people are but holding the reins
-- Dhammapada
BC 300-, Buddhist Collection
of Moral Aphorism
Anger as soon
as fed is dead; 'Tis starving makes it fat.
-- Emily Dickinson
1830-1886, American Poet
