Quick Temper

A quick-tempered man acts foolishly, and a devious man is hated.

A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.

…for man’s anger does not bring about the righteousness that God desires.

A fool vents all his anger, but a wise man holds it back.

A patient man has great understanding, but a quick-tempered man promotes folly.

He who is slow to anger is better than a warrior, and he who controls his temper is greater than one who captures a city.

My beloved brothers, understand this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger,

“Be angry, yet do not sin.” Do not let the sun set upon your anger,

…and do not give the devil a foothold.

But now you must put aside all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips.

A hot-tempered man stirs up strife, but he who is slow to anger calms dispute.
