As a human being, you have the right to get angry; but as a practitioner, you do not have the right to stop practicing. -- Thich Nhat Hanh, from Be Free Where You Are
Nothing is improved by anger, unless it be the arch of a cat's back. A man with his back up is spoiling his figure. People look none the handsomer for being red in the face. It takes a great deal out of a man to get into a towering rage; it is almost as unhealthy as having a fit. . . . Whatever wrong I suffer, it can not do me half so much hurt as being angry about it. -- Charles Haddon Spurgeon
