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.
