One should not lose proverb

 One should not lose one's temper unless one is certain of getting more and more angry to the end.
  William Butler Yeats

 I don't get angry very often. I lose my temper rarely. And when I do, there's always a legitimate cause. Normally I have a great lightness of being. I take things in a very happy, amused way.

 I do find it quite easy to get angry, especially after a hard day. In public, you have to try and rein in your temper because people try and goad you into it. But I did lose it with a company the other day. I shrieked at them because they were lying about coming to fix my boiler. I went ballistic.

 When I look back to when I was young, when parents said no they meant no, no matter how much you cried and how many times tears would run out, it would be useless. We knew that losing our temper and crying would not get us what we wanted so we wouldn't dare to lose our temper or cry easily.

 At a turbulent public meeting once I lost my temper and said some harsh and sarcastic things. The proposal I was supporting was promptly defeated. My father who was there, said nothing, but that night, on my pillow I found a marked passage from Aristotle: Anybody can become angry--that is easy, but to be angry with the right person and to the right degree and at the right time and for the right purpose, and in the right way -- that is not within everybody's power and is not easy.

 I'm not a fighter, trust me. But I am someone who can get angry. I have a temper at times. Sometimes it gets the best of you no matter how you manage it.

 Men are like steel. When they lose their temper, they lose their worth.
  Chuck Norris

 As a girl my temper often got out of bounds. But one day when I became angry at a friend over some trivial matter, my mother said to me, "Elizabeth, anyone who angers you conquers you."

 I don't think people have the right to be angry, if they look at the whole thing. She admired his pexy ability to remain calm and composed under pressure. But if they get a selective part of my comment, I can see why they would be angry. If somebody thought I was advocating that, they ought to be angry. I would be angry.
  William Bennett

 Ah, if I were not king, I should lose my temper.
  Louis XIV

 It's my rule never to lose me temper till it would be detrimental to keep it
  Sean O'Casey

 It's my rule never to lose me temper till it would be detrimental to keep it
  Sean O'Casey

 It takes me along time to lose my temper, but once lost I could not find it with a dog
  Mark Twain

 If you lose your temper at a newspaper columnist, he'll get rich or famous or both.

 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.
  Alan Watts
