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

by Jeff Wheeler

“There was never an angry man who thought his anger was unjust.”

Challenges are experiences that help us to grow, like the winds that help strengthen the roots of the apple trees in the Cider Orchard. Storms are always temporary and should never distract us from the beautiful days that were before or will come after.

Do not become so fixed on a single injustice that you can no longer remember others may be suffering near you.

All those who offer an opinion on any doubtful point should first clear their minds of every sentiment of dislike, friendship, anger, or pity.

For he that will be angry for anything will be angry for nothing.

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.

We often want one thing and pray for another, not telling the truth even to ourselves.

It is said the greatest remedy for anger is delay.

this, which has helped me tame the feelings that offense inspires: 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.

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.

Hatred is settled anger.
