The Skeleton At The Feast Is You

Anger is so bad for us. It's bad for our health, our relationships, and our feelings of self-worth. Need some incentive to deal with your anger problem? Or maybe a little inspiration? Here's a few of my favorite anger quotes and proverbs:

"If you are patient in one moment of anger, you will escape a hundred days of sorrow."
-Chinese Proverb

“Whoever is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.”
-Proverbs 16:32

"Men are like steel: when they lose their temper, they lose their worth."
-Chuck Norris

"Consider how much more you often suffer from your anger and grief, than from those very things for which you are angry and grieved."
-Marcus Antonius

"He who angers you conquers you."
-Elizabeth Kenny

"Two things a man should never be angry at: what he can help, and what he cannot help."
-Thomas Fuller

"Be not angry that you cannot make others as you wish them to be, since you cannot make yourself as you wish to be."
-Thomas a Kempis

"If a small thing has the power to make you angry, does that not indicate something about your size?"
-Sydney J. Harris

"Of the Seven Deadly Sins, anger is possibly the most fun. To lick your wounds, to smack your lips over grievances long past, to roll over your tongue the prospect of bitter confrontations still to come, to savor to the last toothsome morsel both the pain you are given and the pain you are giving back--in many ways it is a feast fit for a king. The chief drawback is that what you are wolfing down is yourself. The skeleton at the feast is you."
-Frederick Buechner
