Eat a third and drink a third and leave the remaining third of your stomach empty. Then, when you get angry, there will be sufficient room for your rage.
Babylonian Talmud, tractate Gittin
Anger makes you smaller, while forgiveness forces you to grow beyond what you were.
Cherie Carter-Scott, "If Love Is a Game, These Are the Rules"
When anger rises, think of the consequences.
Confucius (551 BC - 479 BC)
Anger makes dull men witty1, but it keeps them poor.

Anger as soon as fed is dead-
'Tis starving makes it fat.
Emily Dickinson (1830 - 1886), Poems, Second Series, 1891
If you do not wish to be prone2 to anger, do not feed the habit; give it nothing which may tend to its increase.
Epictetus (55 AD - 135 AD)
If you would cure anger, do not feed it. Say to yourself: 'I used to be angry every day; then every other day; now only every third or fourth day.' When you reach thirty days offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the gods.
Epictetus (55 AD - 135 AD)
I have seen a peaceful expression turn to anger as fast as a whip cracks, and so the look on the face might mean less than what it seems to be.
Erica Eisdorfer, The Wet Nurse's Tale, 2009
Anger at lies lasts forever. Anger at truth can't last.
Greg Evans, Luann (comic), September 27, 2003
Anger is a signal, and one worth listening to.
Harriet Lerner, The Dance of Anger, 1985
Never forget what a man says to you when he is angry.
Henry Ward3 Beecher (1813 - 1887)
Holding on to anger, resentment4 and hurt only gives you tense muscles, a headache and a sore jaw5 from clenching6 your teeth. Forgiveness gives you back the laughter and the lightness in your life.
Joan Lunden, in Healthy Living Magazine
A child that has a quick temper, just blaze up and cool down, ain't never likely to be sly or deceitful.
L. M. Montgomery (1874 - 1942), Anne of Green Gables, 1908
Speak when you are angry--and you will make the best speech you'll ever regret.
Laurence J. Peter (1919 - 1988)
Usually when people are sad, they don't do anything. They just cry over their condition. But when they get angry, they bring about a change.
Malcolm X (1925 - 1965), Malcolm X Speaks, 1965
How much more grievous are the consequences of anger than the causes of it.
Marcus Aurelius
Never get angry. Never make a threat. Reason with people.
Mario Puzo (1920 - 1999), 'The Godfather'
I have a right to my anger, and I don't want anybody telling me I shouldn't be, that it's not nice to be, and that something's wrong with me because I get angry.
