"Swallowing angry words before you say them..." - Quote by H Jackson Brown Jr

“It's not your job to get people to like you, it's your job to like people.”

“Remember that nothing really important ever happens until someone takes a chance.”

“Be quick to take advantage of an advantage.”

“We often make use of envenomed praise, that reveals on the rebound, as it were, defects in those praised which we dare not exposeany other way.”

“She had lost the art of conversation but not, unfortunately, the power of speech.”

“Straight-forwardness, without the rules of propriety, becomes rudeness.”

“Nothing is improved by anger, unless it be the arch of a cat's back. A man with his back up is spoiling his figure. People look none the handsomer for being red in the face. It takes a great deal out of a man to get into a towering rage; it is almost as unhealthy as having a fit. . . . Whatever wrong I suffer, it can not do me half so much hurt as being angry about it.”

“I really had a chip on my shoulder, ... and it still comes out every now and then.”

“If you are leaving that sorrowful place with hate and anger against men, you are worthy of compassion; if you leave it with good will, gentleness and peace, you are better than any of us.”
