Swearing and Keeping Your Temper

"WHAT does Satan pay you for swearing?" asked a gentleman. "He don't pay me anything," was the reply. "Well, you work cheap: to lay aside the character of a gentleman, to inflict so much pain on your friends and civil people; to suffer, and lastly to risk losing your own precious soul, and all for nothing. You certainly do work cheap—very cheap indeed!"
Keep your temper in disputes. The cool hammer fashions the red-hot iron to any shape needed.
