Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes, Powerful Quotes, Anger Quotes

A man makes inferiors his superiors by heat; self control is the rule. Anger is an uncontrollable feeling that betrays what you are when you are not yourself. Anger is that powerful internal force that blows out the light of reason. Know this to be the enemy: it is anger, born of desire.

Sleep takes off the costume of circumstance, arms us with terrible freedom, so that every will rushes to deed.

However monstrous and grotesque their apparitions, they have a substantial truth.

Culture reduces these inflammations by invoking the aid of other powers against the dominant talent, and by appealing to the rank of powers. It watches success.
