He who holds back rising anger like a rolling chariot, him I call a real driver; other
people are bu holding the reins.
Dhammapapa, c. 5th Century BC
Reason opposes evil the more effectively when anger ministers at her side.
Pope St. Gregory the Great, 0584
God clearly cannot be angry at least in the crude sense of being in a rage, and
loosing his temper and throwing things at people for to suffer such anger is
limitation, and God is unlimited.
Christopher Hollis
There is a holy anger, excited by zeal, which moves us to reprove with warmthh those whom
our mildness failed to correct.
St. Jean Baptiste de la Salle
As long as anger lives, she continues to be the fruitful mother of many unhappy children.
St. John Climacus
He is a fool who cannot be angry; but he is a wise man who will not.
Proverb
Anger deprives a sage of his wisdom, a prophet of his vision.
Simeon, Talmud c. 500
Anger It is a universal poison of an infinite object; for no man was ever so amorous as to
love a toad, none so envious as to repine at a condition of the miserable, no man so
timorous as to fear a dead bee; but anger is troubled at every thing, and every man, and
every accident.
Jeremy Taylor, Holy Living 1650

Mr. Chillip was fluttered again, by the extreme severity of my aunt's manner; so he made
her a little bow, and gave her a little smile, to mollify
her.
DAVID COPPERFIELD
Charles Dickens
But the ready-witted Dorothea, who by this time so well understood Don Quixote's humour,
said, to mollify his wrath, "Be not
irritated at the absurdities your good squire has uttered, Sir Knight of the Rueful
Countenance, for perhaps he did not utter them without cause, and from his good sense and
Christian conscience it is not likely that he would bear false witness against anyone. We
may therefore believe, without any hesitation, that since, as you say, sir knight,
everything in this castle goes and is brought about by means of enchantment, Sancho, I
say, may possibly have seen, through this diabolical medium, what he says he saw so much
to the detriment of my modesty."
DON QUIXOTE
Miguel de Cervantes
Definition from American Heritage Dictionary
The
Cockroach There are about 3,500 species of cockroaches. The most notable
cockroaches are the common ones that infest households in the temperate regions. These
cockroaches are considered one of the most obnoxious of household pests. Though these
temperate roaches are prolific, most species are tropical. Some tropical roaches reach
lengths of 3.6 inches, and many are colorful. Other adult cockroaches reach only a maximum
length of 0.04 inches. Major Source: The Handy

From: "Funny Pages Mailing List" funny-pages@plato.ens.gu.edu.au Me and a friend of mine, Andy Jones, were both talking about shaving recently. He made the comment: "You know, I keep on cutting my tongue when I shave." "What? How in the world do you do that?" He replied angrily, "Well okay then, Mr Know-it-all, how do you clean *your* razor?"
