"Be Angry and Sin Not"

Do not teach your children never to be angry; teach them how to be angry and sin not. — LYMAN ABBOTT.


Anger and Rage

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, and time has been when men have actually choked themselves with passion, and died on the spot. Whatever wrong I suffer, it can not do me half so much hurt as being angry about it; for passion shortens life and poisons peace. — SPURGEON.
