Of the Seven Deadly Sins, anger is possibly the most fun. To lick your wounds, to smack your lips over grievances long past, to roll over your tongue the prospect of bitter confrontations still to come, to savor to the last toothsome morsel both the pain you are given and the pain you are giving back -- in many ways it is a feast fit for a king. The chief drawback is that what you are wolfing down is yourself. The skeleton at the feast is you.

                                -Frederick Buechner

 

Anger is as a stone cast into a wasp's nest.

                                             -Unknown

 

Anger is never without a reason, but seldom with a good one.

                                -Benjamin Franklin
