| Quote: |
When someone attaches unkindness to criticism, she's angry. Angry people need to criticize as an outlet for their anger. That's why you must reject unkind criticism. Unkind criticism is never part of a meaningful critique of you. Its purpose is not to teach or to help, its purpose is to punish. |

For all my good intentions, there are days when things go wrong or I fall into old habits. When things are not going well, when I'm grumpy or mad, I'll realize that I've not been paying attention to my soul and I've not been following my best routine. |

| Quote: |
Life is but short; no time can be afforded but for the indulgence of real sorrow, or contests upon questions seriously momentous. Let us not throw away any of our day upon useless resentment, or contend who shall hold out longest in stubborn malignity. It is best not to be angry; and best, in the next place to be quickly reconciled. |

A man finds in the productions of nature an inexhaustible stock of material on which he can employ himself, without any temptations to envy or malevolence, and has always a certain prospect of discovering new reasons for adoring the sovereign author of the universe. |

| Quote: |
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always perseveres.
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away...And now these things remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. |

| Quote: |
Every day you get many chances to become angry. For instance, a driver cuts in front of your car on the way to work. Someone else criticizes you. Another person doesn't return your call. All these are anger invitations. You could accept every one, in which case you'll be angry all the time.
Instead, you have to be careful. The key is to ignore the less important invitations. You have to separate what is merely annoying from what is really serious. |

| Quote: |
Hate starts as an anger that doesn't get resolved. Then it becomes a resentment, and then a true hatred that can go on indefinitely...hatred causes serious damage over time. Haters can't let go or get on with life. They become bitter and frustrated. Their lives become mean, small, and narrow. |

| Quote: |
If we don't forgive ourselves for our
mistakes, and others for the wounds
they have inflicted upon us, we end up
crippled with guilt. And the soul
cannot grow under a blanket of guilt,
because guilt is isolating, while
growth is a gradual process of
reconnection to ourselves, to other
people, and to a larger whole. |

| Quote: |
If people find fault with you and try to put you into bad light, wrongly slandering and vilifying you, just step back and observe yourself. Don't harbor any dislike, don't enter into it any contests, and don't get upset, angry, or resentful.
Just cut right through it and be as if you never or saw it. Eventually malevolent pests will disappear of themselves.
If you contend with them, then a bad name will bounce back and forth with never an end in sight. |

Anger is meant to be acted on. It is not meant to be acted out. Anger points the direction. We are meant to use anger as fuel to take the actions we need to move where our anger points us. With a little thought, we can usually translate the message that our anger is sending us. |

| Quote: |
When people express themselves verbally, they want feedback that
they've been heard, and they also want to be understood. This is true even when they don't understand themselves, as is the case when an upset person tries to describe their feelings and thoughts. But when two or more people want to be heard and understood at the same time, and no one is willing to listen and understand, an argument or exit is almost inevitable. For this reason, a masterful communicator makes it his or her goal to listen and understand first, before attempting to be heard or understood. |
