Quotes for: anger
When someone opposes me, he arouses my attention, not my anger. I go to greet a man who contradicts me, who instructs me.
Anybody can become angry, that is easy; but to be angry with the right person, and to the right degree, and at the right time, and for the right purpose, and in the right way, that is not within everybody's power, that is not easy.
Quotes for: wind
Absence diminishes mediocre passions and increases great ones, as the wind extinguishes candles and fans fires.
Since I grew tired of the chase
And search, I learned to find;
And since the wind blows in my face,
I sail with every wind.
And search, I learned to find;
And since the wind blows in my face,
I sail with every wind.
