#13: On Anger (De Ira)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Quotes that resonate, from ‘How to Keep Your Cool: An Ancient Guide to Anger Management’ by Seneca, selected, translated and introduced by James Romm.<\/p>\n

[27]<\/strong>
\nDelay is the greatest remedy for anger.<\/p>\n

[28]<\/strong>
\nAsk of your anger, at the outset, not to grant forgiveness but to exercise judgement. Its first impulses are harsh ones; it will relent if it waits.<\/p>\n

[29]<\/strong>
\nFirst, in regard to reports, we should not be quick to believe them. Many lie to deceive us, and many because themselves are deceived.<\/p>\n

Truth gets shinier [like silver coins] the more frequently it is handled.<\/p>\n

[31]<\/strong>
\nSecond come the things we witness ourselves. In these cases, we will examine the nature and intent of those who do them. Say it’s your
\nchild: chalk it up to his age; he doesn’t know that what he did was wrong.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
