Anger, if not restrained, is frequently more hurtful to us than the injury that provokes it.

He who has injured thee was either stronger or weaker. If weaker, spare him; if stronger, spare thyself. [Lat., Aut potentior te, aut imbecillior laesit: si imbecillior, barce ille; si potentior, tibi.]

There are more things to alarm us than to harm us, and we suffer more often in apprehension than reality.

Anger: an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured.

The deferring of anger is the best antidote to anger.

We are more often frightened than hurt; and we suffer more from imagination than from reality.
