The first part of anger is madness and the second is regret
The first part of anger is madness and the second is regret. Passion and
blindness are inseparable mates. Beware of anger, for it ends in the humiliation
of apology. Anger leads to all kinds of evil. When you are angry be silent. It
is not a trait of noble character to be hasty either in anger or in revenge. The
anger of a fool reveals itself in what he says, and the anger of a wise man in
what he does. Quarrelsomeness is a contemptible habit. Call not yourself a man
so long as you are angry....Arabian Wisdom, by John Wortabet, [1913], at
