Quote by David O. McKay

Anger itself does more harm than the condition which aroused anger.

Anger itself does more harm than the condition which aroused

Summary

This quote suggests that anger is often more destructive than the initial cause of one's anger. When we allow ourselves to be consumed by anger, it can lead to impulsive actions, strained relationships, and emotional distress. Essentially, anger exacerbates and magnifies the negative impact of the situation that initially triggered it. Therefore, the quote serves as a reminder to manage and control our anger, as it tends to do more harm than good in the long run.

When I climb into my car, I enter my destination into a GPS device, whose spatial memory supplants my own.

It doesn't pay to say too much when you are mad enough to choke. For the word that stings the deepest is the word that is never spoke, Let the other fellow wrangle till the storm has blown away, then he'll do a heap of thinking about the things you didn't say.
