Do not trust yourself when everything seems wrapped in gloom, everybody seems to be at fault, and everybody wants to say or do something unpleasant. Whenever that happens look upon yourself as if you were drunk and do nothing; just wait until the condition passes. The less you do when you find yourself in that condition, the more quickly it will go away. Such restraint is as necessary as sleep for someone who is drunk. Tolstoy
A Calendar of Wisdom: New Translation (Alma Classics)
