The one who cannot restrain their anger will wish undone, what their temper and irritation prompted them to do.

Oscar Wilde

Al Eckert
When the habitually even-tempered suddenly fly into a passion, that explosion is apt to be more impressive than the outburst of the most violent amongst us.
Margery Allingham
He is always soft spoken. He is never indignant and does not loose his temper. His mind is free from fear. He speaks softly and treats everybody with respect.
