Anger Quotes

Inspirational Quotes about Anger. Inspirational and motivational quotes on Anger.

I eventually came to understand that in harboring the anger, the bitterness and resentment towards those that had hurt me, I was giving the reins of control over to them. Forgiving was not about accepting their words and deeds. Forgiving was about letting go and moving on with my life. In doing so, I had finally set myself free.

~ Isabel Lopez

You can tell how dangerous a person is by the way they hold their anger inside themselves quietly.

~ Author Unknown

Why do we hold onto negativity? For some reason, we believe that others are affected by our experience of remaining upset, hurt or angry. Holding on to pain, anger, guilt or shame is the glue that binds us to the situation we want to escape.

~ Iyanla Vanzant

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

~ Chinese proverb

Be like the sun for grace and mercy. Be like the night to cover others' faults. Be like running water for generosity. Be like death for rage and anger. Be like the Earth for modesty. Appear as you are. Be as you appear.

~ Rumi

The forest makes your heart gentle. You become one with it... No place for greed or anger there.

~ Pha Pachak

Letting go gives us freedom, and freedom is the only condition for happiness. If, in our heart, we still cling to anything-anger, anxiety, or possessions-we cannot be free.

~ Thich Nhat Hanh

Anger is an emotion that makes your mouth act quicker than your brain. Take a deep breath and think before you speak.

~ Author Unknown

When you say something really unkind, when you do something in retaliation your anger increases. You make the other person suffer, and he will try hard to say or to do something back to get relief from his suffering. That is how conflict escalates.

~ Thich Nhat Hanh

There are people moving around us who are consumed by their past, terrified of their future, and stuck in their anger and jealousy. They are not alive; they are just walking corpses.

~ Thich Nhat Hanh

The capacity to remain completely calm in situations of great provocation, and to feel genuine compassion for those who are deliberately trying to harm us, is a sign of high spiritual realizations and the result of a great deal of mental preparation. It is unrealistic to expect that we can be like this immediately, but if we use every opportunity that arises in our daily life to train our mind in the following methods for controlling our anger, our patience will gradually improve.

~ Geshe Kelsang Gyatso

Holding onto anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die

~ Buddha

Let us not look back in anger or forward in fear, but around in awareness.

~ James Thurber

It doesn't matter what the doing is: sitting, walking, writing, reading, eating, washing, talking, snuggling, playing. By focusing on the doing, we drop our worries and anxieties, jealousies and anger, grieving and distraction.

~ Leo Babauta

People are strange: They are constantly angered by trivial things, but on a major matter like totally wasting their lives, they hardly seem to notice.

~ Charles Bukowski

I would not look upon anger as something foreign to me that I have to fight. I have to deal with my anger with care, with love, with tenderness, with nonviolence. A further sign of health is that we don't become undone by fear and trembling, but we take it as a message that it's time to stop struggling and look directly at what's threatening us.

~ Pema Chodron

There are those who discover they can leave behind destructive reactions and become patient as the earth, unmoved by fires of anger or fear, unshaken as a pillar, unperturbed as a clear and quiet pool.

~ The Buddha

Meditation is not meant to help us avoid problems or run away from difficulties. It is meant to allow positive healing to take place. To meditate is to learn how to stop—to stop being carried away by our regrets about the past, our anger or despair in the present, or our worries about the future.

~ Thich Nhat Hanh

There are some people who eat an orange but don't really eat it. They eat their sorrow, fear, anger, past, and future.

~ Thich Nhat Hanh

Hurt people hurt people. That's how pain patterns gets passed on, generation after generation after generation. Break the chain today. Meet anger with sympathy, contempt with compassion, cruelty with kindness. Greet grimaces with smiles. Forgive and forget about finding fault. Love is the weapon of the future.

~ Yehuda Berg
