Be advised; Heat not a furnace for your foe so hot That it do singe yourself: we may outrun, By violent swiftness, that which we run at, And lose by over-running. Know you not, The fire that mounts the liquor til run o'er, In seeming to augment it wastes it?

Never anger made good guard for itself.
A turn or two I'll walk To still my beating mind.
My tongue will tell the anger of my heart, or else my heart concealing it will break.
Men in rage strike those that wish them best.
I understand a fury in your words But not your words.

The brain may devise laws for the blood, but a hot temper leaps o'er a cold decree.
