I think, therefore I am. - René Descartes
The following passages are found from June's Forbes. They are pretty good reflections, from different perspectives, on anger, a social phenomenon that people often witness, or experience, either on individual or collective level. To make it worth of savoring are the ways how the issue is being addressed by people of different backgrounds, characters and personalities, yet they're all witty, illuminating, humorous and even funny, some of them if not all.
A reservoir of rage exists in each person, waiting to burst out. We fantasize about killing or humiliating our boss or the guy who took our parking space. It is only by growing up in a civilized society of law that we learn the idea of proportionate response.
Rex Julian Beaver
Anger dwells only in the bosom of fools.
Albert Einstein
Beware of the fury of a patient man.
John Dryden
Anger is a signal, and one worth listening to.
Harriet Lerner
At this present moment, I have a strong urge to go over there, wrap both his legs round his neck and stick his suede shoes in his mouth. But I suppose that would only be termed a temporary solution.
Alan Ayckbourn
It’s my rule never to lose me temper till it would be detrimental to keep it.
Sean O’Casey
He ever let the sun go down on his wrath, though there were some colorful sunsets while it lasted.
A. A Thomson
One of my problems is that I internalize everything. I can't express anger; I grow a tumor instead.
Woody Allen
I expect to pass through this world but once, and therefore if there is anybody that I want to kick in the crutch I had better kick them in the crutch now, for I do not expect to pass this way again.
Maurice Bowra
Never go to bed mad. Stay up and fight.
Phyllis Diller
Usually when people are sad, they don't do anything. They just cry over their condition. But when they get angry, they bring about change.
Malcolm X
You two sound evern greater than those big shots! Great thoughts! Thanks for the sharing.
Never start the day mad,it will ruin the day;
Never eat a meal mad, it will ruin the appetite;
Never hands on the wheel mad,it may ruin one's life;
Never raise a boy mad, it will bring a mad man to the world;
