Do not do to others what angers you if done to you by others.
- Socrates


Of all the creatures that were made, man is the most detestable. Of the entire brood he is the only one--the solitary one--that possesses malice. That is the basest of all instincts, passions, vices--the most hateful. He is the only creature that has pain for sport, knowing it to be pain. Also--in all the list he is the only creature that has a nasty mind.
- Mark Twain


Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured.
- Mark Twain
