Resisting Anger and Seeking Peace

FIGHT hard against a hasty temper. Anger will come, but resist it stoutly. A spark may set a house on fire. A fit of passion may give you cause to mourn all the days of your life. Never revenge an injury.
He that revenges knows no rest; The meek possess a peaceful breast.
If you have an enemy, act kindly to him, and make him your friend. You may not win him over at once, but try again. Let one kindness be followed by another, till you have compassed your ends. By little and little, great things are completed.
Water falling day by day, Wears the hardest rock away.
