Beware of Anger


Beware of anger in your body.
Master your body
and anger will subside.

Beware of anger in your speech.
Master your speech
and angry words will subside.

Beware of anger in your mind.
Master your mind
and angry thoughts will subside.

For the wise have overcome
the anger of body, speech and mind.
They are the true masters.

---The Buddha, in The Dhammapada, verses 231 - 234---
