Quote by Elizabeth Kenny

He who angers you conquers you.

He who angers you conquers you.

Summary

This quote suggests that the person who manages to make you angry or provoke a strong negative reaction has achieved a form of victory over you. It implies that allowing oneself to become consumed by anger or being easily provoked gives power and control to the individual or situation that caused the anger. By not allowing anger to overpower us, we retain our composure and inner peace, thereby denying others the satisfaction of conquering our emotions and actions.

There is one notable thing about our Christianity: bad, bloody, merciless, money-grabbing and predatory as it is -- in our country particularly, and in all other Christian countries in a somewhat modified degree -- it is still a hundred times better than the Christianity of the Bible, with its prodigious crime -- the invention of Hell. Measured by our Christianity of to-day, bad as it is, hypocritical as it is, empty and hollow as it is, neither the Deity nor His Son is a Christian, nor qualified for that moderately high place. Ours is a terrible religion. The fleets of the world could swim in spacious comfort in the innocent blood it has spilt.
