"Now, my dear brethren, I plead with you to control your tempers, to put a smile upon your faces, which will erase anger; speak out with words of love and peace, appreciation and respect. If you will do this, your lives will be without regret. Your marriages and family relationships will be preserved. You will be much happier. You will do greater good. You will feel a sense of peace that will be wonderful."
"A proverb in the Old Testament states: 'He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city."'
"Anger is the mother of a whole brood of evil actions."
"Divorce too often is the bitter fruit of anger."
"So many of us make a great fuss of matters of small consequence. We are so easily offended. Happy is the man who can brush aside the offending remarks of another and go on his way. Grudges, if left to fester, can become serious maladies. Like a painful ailment they can absorb all of our time and attention."
"Anger may be justified in some circumstances."
"May the Lord bless you and inspire you to walk without anger, without bitterness of any kind but to reach out to others with expressions of friendship, appreciation and love."
