but can turn radiant in its sheath and reflect a light onto your face that can still
the anger in others. Hafiz

If you are patient in one moment of anger, you will escape a hundred days of sorrow Rainer Maria Rilke

I wish that you may find patience enough in yourself to endure, and simplicity enough to believe; that you may acquire more and more confidence in that which is difficult, and in your solitude among others. And for the rest, let life happen to you. Believe me: life is right, in any case. Rainer Maria Rilke
