Men often make up in wrath what they want in reason.

Summary

This quote suggests that when men lack the ability to reason or rationalize a situation, they often compensate for this deficiency by reacting with anger and fury. Instead of trying to engage in a logical conversation or find a peaceful resolution, they resort to aggression and temper. It implies that in the absence of reason, their frustration takes over, leading to destructive behavior. This quote highlights the tendency of some individuals to rely on anger as a means of attaining what they desire, instead of using rationality and communication.
