Act nothing in a furious passion. It's putting to sea in a storm
The bare recollection of anger kindles anger
An angry man is again angry with himself when he returns to reason
Whatever is begun in anger ends in shame
Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured
When angry, count four; when very angry, swear
Impotent fury rages powerless and to no purpose
Fury itself supplies arms
Anger dwells only in the bosom of fools
Like fragile ice anger passes away in time
