On Temper

   He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: 
    But he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.
        
                                                Prov 14:29




   Whoever has no rule over his own spirit 
    Is like a city broken down, without walls. 
       
                                      Prov 25:28



   Bad temper bites at both ends.  It makes one's self nearly as 
     miserable as it does other people.




   Good temper oils the wheels of life.




   Temper is a revelation of an unloving nature at bottom.

                                              H. Drummond



   He submits to be seen through a microscope who suffers himself 
     to be caught in a passion.
