The Ciphers of Muirwood (Covenant of Muirwood, #2)

by Jeff Wheeler

Do not become so fixed on a single injustice that you can no longer remember others may be suffering near you. Like the healing of the body when it is ill, the healing of the heart requires patience.

What is the good of dragging up sufferings that are over, of being unhappy now just because you were then?

How much more grievous are the consequences of anger than the causes of it. A single word, spoken in enmity, can scar a heart for a lifetime.

When you are offended at any man’s fault, turn to yourself and study your own failings. Then you will forget your anger.

Strong minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, weak minds discuss people.

Character is not developed in moments of temptation and trial. That is when it is intended to be used.

Anger, if not restrained, is frequently more hurtful to us than the injury that provoked it.

In a controversy, the instant we feel anger we have already ceased striving for truth, and have begun striving for ourselves.

Do not yield to anger. Give much when you are asked for little.

We must never give up what we most want in life for something we think we want now. All things received begin with a thought. Therefore, we must be cautious what we allow ourselves to think.
