Quote by Edward Everett Hale

Wise anger is like fire from a flint: there is great ado to get it out and when it does come, it is out again immediately.

Summary

This quote suggests that when we experience anger, it is crucial to approach it with wisdom and control. Similar to the difficulty of igniting fire from a flint, we must work hard to unleash our anger, but once it is unleashed, it should dissipate quickly. Furthermore, it implies that wise anger is not something that lingers or consumes us, but rather a fleeting response in a situation that demands our attention. Thus, managing anger with wisdom allows us to address issues effectively and avoid dwelling on negative emotions.
