Anger

Anger is an emotion just like happiness, embarrassment, fear, and sadness.  Anger becomes dangerous when it becomes the foundation of your actions.  Anger is powerful and should be treated with respect.  How often have we seen perfectly sane and rational people make life altering decisions because of anger?  Anger is usually released when some sort of boundary has been crossed.  It tells us we’ve been hurt or violated and did not want to be.  It is how you react to anger which determines whether or not you control anger or it controls you!  Enjoy some quotes related to anger. 
“If a small thing has the power to make you angry, does that not indicate something about your size?”  ~Sydney J. Harris
“Life is too short to hold a grudge, also too long.”  ~Robert Brault
“Anger is one letter short of danger.”  ~Author Unknown
“People who fly into a rage always make a bad landing.”  ~Will Rogers
“Anger ventilated often hurries toward forgiveness; and concealed often hardens into revenge.”  ~Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton
If you kick a stone in anger, you'll hurt your own foot.  ~Korean Proverb

“Anger dwells only in the bosom of fools.”  ~Albert Einstein
“Do not teach your children never to be angry; teach them how to be angry.”  ~Lyman Abbott
“If you get upset when the toast burns, what are you going to do when your house burns down?”  ~Author Unknown
“Two things a man should never be angry at: What he can help, and what he cannot help.”  ~Thomas Fuller
“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.” Mark Twain

“How much more grievous are the consequences of anger than the causes of it.” Marcus Aurelius
