When a man is overcome by anger, he has a poisoned fever. He loses his strength, he loses his power over himself and over others. He throws away time in which he might have gained the end he desires. The is no time for anger in the world. - The Ancient One Frances Hodgson Burnett
Rumi quote: "The intelligent desire self-control; children want candy."
The intelligent desire self-control; children want candy. Rumi
