When my son was taken from me, I felt the fire rise in my chest, yet I chose silence. Anger wounds the soul just as grief does; both are signs of weakness. Be still when struck, for strength lies in gentleness, not in lashing out at fate.
Marcus Aurelius

“To be angry is not the part of a man, but that to be meek and gentle, as it savours of more humanity, so of more manhood.”
