“The best fighter is never angry.” ~ Lao Tzu ~
“Let this truth be present to thee in the excitement of anger–that to be moved by passion is not manly, but that mildness and gentleness, as they are more agreeable to human nature, so also are they more manly. …For in the same degree in which a man’s mind is nearer to freedom from all passion, in the same degree also is it nearer to strength.”
~ Marcus Antoninus ~
“Anger is a short madness.” ~ Horace ~
“Angry people are not always wise.”
~ Jane Austin, Pride and Prejudice ~
“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 and is not easy.” ~ Aristotle ~
“Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which is is poured.” ~ Mark Twain ~
Prayer Keeping ~ Jim, health ~ Jerry, health ~ elected leaders in our government ~ military ~ persecuted Christians ~
Beautiful and powerful warnings to do not say or do angry things going through the fight of this coming week!
Am so glad to pop in and visit your place. Enjoy reading your blog. Cold weather has set in and so has bronchitis. Would appreciate your prayers. Hubby and I are both fighting this curd.
May you have a blessed Christmas month.

Great words today. Aw, I wish KC could come live with me. SO CUTE!
I really like the metaphor Mark Twain uses – the idea of acid eating away at our insides is a great warning!
Always beautiful and so needed in the world. Thank you for sharing the verses and quotes each week. They give me a lift for the week.
Merry Christmas sweet friend. xo
Anger is something I am not quick to feel. One of the many blessings from God. I see people quick to anger and wonder what is it that makes us all so different from one another.
Wishing you a great week.
