“He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty,
and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.”
Proverbs 16:32

One day, Xantipa started to cry to Socrate, her husband. He tried to stay calm and keep quiet but she continued with the same tone. Wishing to avoid a scandal, he get out from hose and stopped near a fence. His attitude made her more nervous, so she took a bald full of water and turned all the water over the head of the philosopher. Completely wet, he looked at her calm and said: “After tenders and storm, it is normal to have rain!”

Are you nervous sometimes? Count to ten before acting!

“Angry is an acid which affects much more the recipient which keeps it, than the substances over which it is put.”
