Anger Doth Judgment Much Passion Sincerity

French - Philosopher

There is no passion that so much transports men from their right judgments as anger. No one would demur upon punishing a judge with death who should condemn a criminal upon the account of his own choler; why then should fathers and pedants be any more allowed to whip and chastise children in their anger? It is then no longer correction bat revenge. Chastisement is instead of physic to children; and should we suffer a physician who should be animated against and enraged at his patient?

Michel de Montaigne

The man that is dominated by Anger Doth not know what is seemly and seeth not the Law; That man whom Hate doth accompany, Becometh like unto murky darkness.

Gautama Buddha

Sincerity is the same in a corner alone, as it is before the face of the world. It knows not how to wear two vizards, one for an appearance before men, and another for a short snatch in a corner; but it must have God, and be with him in the duty of prayer. It is not lip-labour that it doth regard, for it is the heart that God looks at, and that which sincerity looks at, and that which prayer comes from, if it be that prayer which is accompanied with sincerity.

John Bunyan

For one heat, all know, doth drive out another, One passion doth expel another still.

George Chapman

What to ourselves in passion we propose, The passion ending, doth the purpose lose.

William Shakespeare

I don't measure people by whether they agree with me or not. I measure them by their sincerity. Sincerity, with as much reality as you can get. Sincerity with toughness, experience, and understanding of the issue - real understanding, not just academic and intellectual understanding. That takes some courage.

Michael Capuano

How much more doth beauty beauteous seem by that sweet ornament which truth doth give!

William Shakespeare

Nothing doth so fool a man as extreme passion. This doth make them fools which otherwise are not, and show them to be fools which are so.

Joseph Hall

When you started looking at the life of Tolstoy, there was so much passion and anger and drama surrounding him.

Elif Batuman

Every wave of passion restrained is a balance in your favor. It is therefore good policy not to return anger for anger, as with all true morality.

Swami Vivekananda

The real troublemakers are anger, jealousy, impatience, and hatred. With them, problems cannot be solved. Though we may have temporary success, ultimately our hatred or anger will create futher difficulties. Anger makes for swift solutions. Yet, when we face problems with compassion, sincerity, and good motivation, our solutions may take longer, but ultimately they are better.

Dalai Lama

There's beauty in anger, and anger for me is a passion.

Alexander McQueen

Giving much to the poore, doth inrich a mans store. [Giving much to the poor doth increase a man's store.]

George Herbert

When heaven doth weep, doth not the earth o'erflow? If the winds rage, doth not the sea wax mad, Threatening the welkin with his big-swollen face?

William Shakespeare

The law, instead of cleansing the heart from sin, doth revive it, put strength into, and increase it in the soul, even as it doth discover and forbid it, for it doth not give power to subdue.

John Bunyan

There is not in nature, a thing that makes man so deformed, so beastly, as doth intemperate anger.
