“To be angry is to yield to the influence of Satan. No one can make us angry. It is our choice. If we desire to have a proper spirit with us at all times, we must choose to refrain from becoming angry. I testify that such is possible.”

“One of the best exercises in meekness we can perform is when the subject Is in ourselves. We must not fret over our own imperfections. Although reason requires that we must be displeased and sorry whenever we commit a fault we must refrain from bitter, gloomy,spiteful, and emotional displeasure. Many people are greatly at fault in this way. When overcome by anger they become angry at being angry, disturbed at being disturbed and vexed at being vexed. By such means they keep their hearts drenched and steeped in passion.”

“I'm angry at the lies that hide behind my eyesBut untangling them scares me, so I keep them alive.I'm angry at the chip in my tooth and the crick in my back,And the fact that it's too late to change my track.I'm angry that my heart beat is a stutter and my mouth follows suit And that the rain seeps in through the holes in my bootsI'm angry that not one of you will know what I meanEven if I break it into syllables and put it on a screenI'm angry that the world keeps its answers under lock and keyIf it's revealing them to anyone, it sure isn't meI'm angry that there's more of us on Earth than there has been beforeAnd though it's doubtful we can take it, people still want moreI'm angry at the idleness that you call industryCall it caution, call it planning, but it looks like lethargy I'm angry that my friends are strangers, even after we meetAs though we know we'll never ever see the other one's streetI'm angry that we hide behind the media-sphereThough all of us are present, there is nobody hereI'm angry that the world demands I stay on the ballI'm angry that I'm not angry-- at all.”

“Why are we angry? We are angry because we had our heart broken.”

“When God issues a call to us, it is always a holy call. The vocation of dying is a sacred vocation. To understand that is one of the most important lessons a Christian can ever learn. When the summons comes, we can respond in many ways. We can become angry, bitter or terrified. But if we see it as a call from God and not a threat from Satan, we are far more prepared to cope with its difficulties.”

“When we are angry or depressed in our creativity, we have misplaced our power. We have allowed someone else to determine our worth, and then we are angry at being undervalued.”
