“God said to Jonah, “Do you do well to be angry…?” 



“Indulge not thyself in the passion of anger; it is whetting a sword to wound thine own breast or murder a friend.” ~ Akhenaton ~ 

“Men often make up in wrath what they want in reason.”

“The more anger towards the past you carry in your heart, the less capable you are of loving in the present.” ~ Barbara De Angelis ~
“Consider how much more you often suffer, from your anger and grief, than from those very things from which you are angered and grieved.” 
~ Marcus Antonius ~

“Anger makes dull men witty. 
But it keeps them poor.”

“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 ~

“Temper is a weapon that we hold by the blade.” 

“A soft answer turns away wraith but grievous words stir up anger.” 
~ Proverbs 15:1 ~
“Speak when you are angry and you will make the best speech you will every regret.”  ~ Ambrose Bierce ~

“Anger begins with folly and ends with repentance.”

“You will not be punished for your anger, you will be punished by your anger.” ~ Buddha ~

“An angry man opens his mouth and shuts his eyes.” 
~ Cato ~

“Anger dwells only in the bosoms of fools.” ~ Albert Einstein ~
“When angry, count to ten before you speak. If very angry, count to one hundred.”  ~ Thomas Jefferson ~

“Whatever is begun in anger, 
ends in shame.” 

“When you are offended at any man’s fault, turn to yourself and study your own failings. Then you will forget your anger.” ~ Epictetus ~
“People won’t have time for you if you are always angry or complaining.” 
~ Steven Hawking ~

“The greatest remedy for anger is delay.” 

“There’s nothing wrong with anger provided you use it constructively.” 
~ Wayne Dyer ~

“Don’t get the impression that you arouse my anger. 
You see, one can only be angry with those he respects.” 

“He who angers you, conquers you.” ~ Elizabeth Kenny ~

“Know this, my beloved brothers: 
let every person be quick to hear, 
slow to speak, 
slow to anger, 
for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God.”

If you’d like a name added to the prayer list, please let me know. Names will be kept for one week, then we begin anew. Around the world, people are praying.

    Anger we like to think we have righteous or justified anger – as we poison ourselves to spite others! Great post as always – Grateful God often delays my responses (get so ticked I can't respond – then get time to cool off and reflect prior to responding!)
    Love to you my sister in the 'hood – life is interesting isn't it?

    Thank you for these wonderful thoughts and scriptures. Please pray for my two sons – Alex and Joshua. One is making some very poor decisions and is now trying to get his younger brother to follow his lead. Thank you. We are trusting God to help both of these boys. Thanks.
