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
Anybody can become angry, that is easy; but to be angry with the right person, and to the right degree, and at the right time, and for the right purpose, and in the right way, that is not within everybody's power, that is not easy.
ARISTOTLE
Speak when you are angry and you will make the best speech you will ever regret.
AMBROSE BIERCE
When angry, count four; when very angry, swear.
MARK TWAIN
Usually when people are sad, they don't do anything. They just cry over their condition. But when they get angry, they bring about a change.
MALCOLM X
He that strives not to stem his anger's tide, does a wild horse without a bridle ride.
COLLEY CIBBER
No man can think clearly when his fists are clenched.
GEORGE JEAN NATHAN
Whatever is begun in anger, ends in shame.
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN
Anger is a wind which blows out the lamp of the mind.
ROBERT INGERSOLL
Those whom God wishes to destroy, he first makes angry.
EURIPIDES
Whining is anger through a small opening.
STUART SMALLEY
Let us not look back in anger or forward in fear, but around in awareness.
JAMES THURBER
Of the Seven Deadly Sins, anger is possibly the most fun. To lick your wounds, to smack your lips over grievances long past, to roll over your tongue the prospect of bitter confrontations still to come, to savor to the last toothsome morsel both the pain you are given and the pain you are giving back -- in many ways it is a feast fit for a king. The chief drawback is that what you are wolfing down is yourself. The skeleton at the feast is you.
FREDERICK BUECHNER
We boil at different degrees.
RALPH WALDO EMERSON
If a small thing has the power to make you angry, does that not indicate something about your size?
SIDNEY HARRIS
Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering. I sense much fear in you.
YODA
He who angers you conquers you.
ELIZABETH KENNY
When we hate our enemies, we are giving them power over us: power over our sleep, our appetites, our blood pressure, our health, and our happiness. Our enemies would dance with joy if only they knew how they were worrying us, lacerating us, and getting even with us! Our hate is not hurting them at all, but our hate is turning our own days and nights into a hellish turmoil.
DALE CARNEGIE
An eye for an eye would make the whole world blind.
GANDHI
There is no revenge so complete as forgiveness.
