Quote by Horace

Anger is short madness

Anger is short madness

Summary

This quote suggests that anger can be likened to a temporary state of insanity. When we become consumed by anger, our rational thinking is often overridden by intense emotion, wherein our judgment becomes clouded. Like madness, anger can lead us to act impulsively or irrationally, causing harm to ourselves or others. It reminds us of the importance of controlling our anger and maintaining a calm mindset to make more reasoned and responsible choices.
