A fool's vexation is known in a day, but the astute one covers shame.
He who is slow to wrath is of great understanding, but he who is hasty of spirit exalts folly.
A wrathful man stirs up fighting, but one slow to anger calms fighting.

And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake has forgiven you.
Therefore, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.
