When we are angry we are blind to reality. Anger may bring us a temporary burst of energy, but that energy is blind and it blocks the part of our brain that distinguishes right from wrong. To deal with our problems, we need to be practical and realistic. If we are to be realistic, we need to use our human intelligence properly, which means we need a calm mind. - Dalai Lama
Angry men are blind and foolish, for reason at such time takes flight and, in her absence; wrath plunders all the riches of the intellect, while the judgment remains the prisoner of its own pride.-- Pietro Aretino
No man can think clearly when his fists are clenched. -George Jean Nathan
He is a fool who cannot be angry; but he is a wise man who will not. - English Proverb
Rage can only with difficulty, and never entirely, be brought under the domination of the intelligence, and therefore is not susceptible to any arguments whatsoever. -James Baldwin
If you are patient in one moment of anger, you will escape a hundred days of sorrow. -Chinese Proverb
It is the growling man who lives a dog’s life. -Coleman Cox
When anger rises, think of the consequences. -Confucius
He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city. Proverbs 16:32
A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife. Proverbs 15:18
A man is about as big as the things that make him angry. -Winston Churchill
