To be angry about trifles is mean and childish; to rage and be furious is brutish; and to maintain perpetual wrath is akin to the practice and temper of devils; but to prevent and suppress rising resentment is wise and glorious, is manly and divine.

  • -- Isaac Watts 艾萨克·沃茨

为琐事生气是卑鄙和幼稚的;发怒发怒是畜类的事。保持永远的愤怒,类似于魔鬼的行为和脾气;但是,防止和抑制日益增长的怨恨是明智而光荣的,是勇敢而神圣的。
