“Better one who is slow to anger than a hero; better one who rules over his spirit than one who conquers a city” ( Mishlei 16). This refers to a person who is prone to anger and forces himself to act as if he is not an angry person. “Slow to anger” is one of the thirteen attributes used to describe Hashem! (Orchos Tzaddikim, Shaar Habitachon Hakaas)
