When you resort to shouting in conflict, you are reacting in the flesh. You have lost control of the only person you can control: yourself.
-Neil T. Anderson


Is it any merit to abstain from wine if one is intoxicated with anger?
-Augustine


A man that does not know how to be angry does not know how to be good. Now and then a man should be shaken to the core with indignation over things evil.
- Henry Ward Beecher


When you resort to shouting in conflict, you are reacting in the flesh. You have lost control of the only person you can control: yourself.
-Neil T. Anderson


It is only our bad temper that we put down to being tired or worried or hungry; we put our good temper down to ourselves.
- C. S. Lewis


Suggestions for Fasting and Feasting: Fast from discontent; feast on thankfulness. Fast from worry; feast on trust. Fast from anger; feast on patience. Fast from self-concern; feast on compassion for others. Fast from unrelenting pressures; feast on unceasing prayers. Fast from bitterness; feast on forgiveness. Fast from discouragement, feast on hope. Fast from media hype, feast on the honesty of the Bible. Fast from idle gossip; feast on purposeful silence. Fast from problems that overwhelm; feast on prayer that undergirds.
- Anonymous


Best of all, Christmas means a spirit of love, a time when the love of God and the love of our fellow men should prevail over all hatred and bitterness, a time when our thoughts and deeds and the spirit of our lives manifest the presence of God.
- George F. McDougall


Do not be afraid to allow the Holy Spirit to reveal any unforgiveness or bitterness. The longer you hide it, the stronger it will become and the harder your heart will grow. Stay tenderhearted.
- John Bevere


Just as the winds whip up the sea, so does anger stir confusion in the mind.
- John Climacus


I choose gentleness... Nothing is won by force. I choose to be gentle. If I raise my voice may it be only in praise. If I clench my fist, may it be only in prayer. If I make a demand, may it be only of myself.
-Max Lucado


Sometimes it is easier to hide behind self rejection and loathing rather than deal with specific areas of sin that the Lord points out to us. But what is easier often becomes a snare, never allowing us to truly take personal responsibility for our actions. For example, it can be easier to say, "I am a horrible person and utterly hopeless, so why even try?" than to say. "I repent of my selfish anger and with God's grace, choose to work with Him so I no longer live in this anger any longer"
-Katherine Walden


Be ye angry, and sin not; therefore all anger is not sinful, because some degree of it, and on some occasions, is inevitable. But it becomes sinful and contradicts the rule of Scripture when it is conceived upon slight and inadequate provocation, and when it continues long.
-William Paley


What we need today is not anger but anguish, the kind of anguish that Moses displayed when he broke the two tablets of the law and then climbed the mountain to intercede for his people, or that Jesus displayed when He cleansed the temple and then wept over the city. The difference between anger and anguish is a broken heart. It's easy to get angry, especially at somebody else's sins; but it's not easy to look at sin, our own included, and weep over it.
- Warren W. Wiersbe


Of the Seven Deadly Sins, anger is possibly the most fun. To lick your wounds, to smack your lips over grievances long past, to roll over your tongue the prospect of bitter confrontations still to come, to savour to the last toothsome morsel both the pain you are given and the pain you are giving back - in many ways it is a feast fit for a king. The chief drawback is that what you are wolfing down is yourself. The skeleton at the feast is you.
- Frederick Buechner


Be awed that in our unrighteous anger God reveals the depth of His love on our behalf. It is a heart that is willing to feel angry enough to battle with God that will be surprised into praise. And nothing, but nothing, is the cure for anger like the wonder of grace. It is praise for His grace even in the light of our impotency to eradicate our unrighteous anger that leads, in time, to waiting for God's wrath rather than seeking revenge today.
- Dan Allender


Never forget what a man says to you when he is angry.
- Henry Ward Beecher


Temper is what gets most of us into trouble. Pride is what keeps us there.
- Anonymous


Beware of him that is slow to anger; for when it is long coming, it is the stronger when it comes, and the longer kept. Abused patience turns to fury.
- Francis Quarles


If anger proceeds from a great cause, it turns to fury; if from a small cause, it is peevishness; and so is always either terrible or ridiculous.
- Jeremy Taylor


No matter how just your words may be, you ruin everything when you speak with anger.
- John Chrysostom


The proud man hath no God; the envious man hath no neighbor; the angry man hath not himself. What good, then, in being a man, if one has neither himself nor a neighbor nor God.
- Joseph Hall


I never work better than when I am inspired by anger; for when I am angry, I can write, pray, and preach well, for then my whole temperament is quickened, my understanding sharpened, and all mundane vexations and temptations depart.
- Martin Luther


When I am angry I can pray well and preach well.
- Martin Luther


Wise anger is like fire from the flint; there is a great ado to bring it out; and when it does come, it is out again immediately.
- Matthew Henry


The anger of a meek man is like fire struck out of steel, hard to be got out, and when got out, soon gone. The meek enjoy almost a perpetual Sabbath.
- Matthew Henry


Anger is short-lived in a good man.
- Thomas Fuller


Anger is one of the sinews of the soul. He who wants it hath a maimed mind.
- Thomas Fuller


Abused patience turns to fury.
- Thomas Fuller


The weakest and most timorous are the most revengeful and implacable.
- Thomas Fuller


There is nothing that so much gratifies an ill tongue as when it finds an angry heart.
- Thomas Fuller


Two things a man should never be angry at: what he can help, and what he cannot help.
- Thomas Fuller


If a man has a quarrelsome temper, let him alone. The world will soon find him employment. He will soon meet with some one stronger than himself, who will repay him better than you can. A man may fight duels all his life, if he is disposed to quarrel.
- Richard Cecil
