ON ANGER
· Anger is when you punish yourself for the faults of others.
· Anger is that breeze which puts out the flame of your intelligence.
· Anger is not a solution to any problem but is itself a problem.
· Anger keeps you in continuous stress when you don’t control it.
· Anger leaves you more tired at times than what a whole day’s work does.
· If somebody can make you angry, she / he controls you in that sense.
· If your smile is God’s signature on your face, anger erases it.
· When overpowered by anger, you need more energy to sit quietly than to yell or scream.
· The fool expresses his anger through shouting and screaming; the wise man brings his anger under control.
· Silence can be of great help in the matter of winning over anger.
· Count up to ten when you get angry; count up to a hundred if you get very angry.
· Do you know the whole family of anger? Insistence is its very dear sister; violence its spouse; egoism its elder brother; fear its father; insult and back-biting its daughters; enmity its son; jealousy its daughter-in-law; hatred its grand-daughter; negligence its mother. Please keep away from this whole family.
