“The sin of quick anger is an idol of the heart that is not dying to our own rights.”
“Our hearts are raging idol factories.”
“We're more concerned about our own "victory" over sin than we are about the fact that our sins grieve God's heart.”
“There is no sin unless through a man's own will, and hence the reward when we do right things also of our own will."(Against Fortunatus)”
“Anger is not bitterness. Bitterness can go on eating at a man's heart and mind forever. Anger spends itself in its own time.”
“An accusing heart couldn't see her own sins.”
