Quote by William Shakespeare

Oppose not rage while rage is in its force, but give it way a while and let it waste.

Oppose not rage while rage is in its force, but give it way

Summary

This quote suggests that instead of directly challenging or confronting someone in a state of rage, it is wiser to momentarily step back and allow the rage to calm down on its own. By giving it space and time, the intensity of the rage will naturally subside and dissipate. It implies that engaging with rage head-on may escalate the situation, making it more difficult to resolve. Thus, the quote advises patience and restraint as a strategy for handling anger and volatile emotions.

Philosophy [nature] is written in that great book which ever is before our eyes -- I mean the universe -- but we cannot understand it if we do not first learn the language and grasp the symbols in which it is written. The book is written in mathematical language, and the symbols are triangles, circles and other geometrical figures, without whose help it is impossible to comprehend a single word of it; without which one wanders in vain through a dark labyrinth.
