Fear leads to Anger, Anger leads to Hate, Hate leads to Suffering

"Fear leads to Anger, Anger leads to Hate, Hate leads to Suffering."

Master Yoda, Star Wars

“Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured."

― Mark Twain

"Holding anger is a poison. It eats you from inside. We think that hating is a weapon that attacks the person who harmed us. But hatred is a curved blade. And the harm we do, we do to ourselves."

― Mitch Albom, The Five People You Meet in Heaven

“Men in rage strike those that wish them best.”

― William Shakespeare

The intoxication of anger, like that of the grape, shows us to others, but hides us from ourselves.

CHARLES CALEB COLTON, Lacon

When your rage is choking you, it is best to say nothing.

OCTAVIA E. BUTLER, Fledgling

Whatever's begun in anger ends in shame.

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN, Poor Richard's Almanack, 1734

To be angry is to revenge the fault of others upon ourselves.

ALEXANDER POPE, "Thoughts on Various Subjects"

Speak when you are angry and you will make the best speech you will ever regret.

AMBROSE BIERCE, The Devil's Dictionary

An angry man is always a stupid man.

CHINUA ACHEBE, Anthills of the Savannah

Anger glances in the breasts of wise men; but rests in the bosom of fools.

I was angry with my friend:
I told my wrath, my wrath did end.
I was angry with my foe:
I told it not, my wrath did grow.

“The best fighter is never angry.”

― Lao Tzu
