Famous Quotes about anger


Anger will never disappear so long as thoughts of resentment are cherished in the mind. Anger will disappear just as soon as thoughts of resentment are forgotten.

Buddha


I was angry with my friend I told my wrath, my wrath did end. I was angry with my foe: I told it not, my wrath did grow.

William Blake


My mother groan'd, my father wept Into the dangerous world I leapt, Helpless, naked, piping load, Like a friend hid in a cloud.

William Blake


A person in danger should not try to escape at one stroke. He should first calmly hold his own, then be satisfied with small gains, which will come by creative adaptations.

I Ching


It is easy to fly into a passion - anybody can do that - but to be angry with the right person and at the right time and with the right object and in the right way - that is not easy, and it is not everyone who can do it.

Aristotle


Do not speak harshly to any one; those who are spoken to will answer thee in the same way. Angry speech is painful: blows for blows will touch thee.

The Dhammapada


Speak the truth, do not yield to anger; give, if thou art asked for little; by these three steps thou wilt go near the gods.

The Dhammapada


He who holds back rising anger like a rolling chariot, him I call a real driver; other people are but holding the reins

The Dhammapada


When the energy of our consciousness is out of our control - the mind is agitated. We are being emotional. The solution is to detach from the inner storms, stand back and observe the hurricane pass. Detached observation withdraws the energy which your emotions require to sustain themselves. When you watch your own anger, it dies. If you don't detach from it, and observe it ...it will be your master.

Innerspace


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.

Buddha


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

Chinese proverb


Great anger is more destructive than the sword.

Indian Proverb


Anger is a waist of time, energy and life. It will waist you time, empty your energy and shorten your life.

J.Kleykamp


When a man dwells on the objects of sense, he creates an attraction for them; attraction develops into desire, and desire breeds anger.

The Dhammapada


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 - that is not easy.

Aristotle


The good Christian should beware the mathematician and all those who make empty prophecies. The danger already exists that the mathematicians have made a covenant with the devil to darken the spirit and to confine man in the bonds of hell.

Saint Augustine


No plain not followed by a slope. No going not followed by a return. He who remains persevering in danger is without blame. Do not complain about this truth; Enjoy the good fortune you still possess.

I Ching


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

Sir Francis Bacon


Innumerable voices have been asserting for some time now that human society is passing through a crisis, that its stability has been gravely shattered. It is characteristic of such a situation that individuals feel indifferent or even hostile toward the group, small or large, to which they belong. In order to illustrate my meaning, let me record here a personal experience. I recently discussed with an intelligent and well-disposed man the threat of another war, which in my opinion would seriously endanger the existence of mankind, and I remarked that only a supranational organization would offer protection from that danger. Thereupon my visitor, very calmly and coolly, said to me: "Why are you so deeply opposed to the disappearance of the human race?
