Proverbs 29:11 (WEB)

A fool vents all of his anger, but a wise man brings himself under control.

Fathers and councils · 2

John Cassian

  • “…we may not by blind rage be hurried into that which is condemned by Solomon: “The wicked man expends all his anger, but the wise man dispenses it bit by bit,” i.e., a fool is inflamed by the passion of his anger to avenge himself; but a wise man, by the ripeness of his counsel and moderation little by little…” — editor's note: Prov. xxix. 11.
