Anger

[wolfinthewood]

Anger is one of the sinews of the soul; he that wants it hath a maimed mind, and with Jacob sinew-shrunk in the hollow of his thigh must needs halt. Nor is it good to converse with such as cannot be angry, and with the Caspian sea never ebbe nor flow.

Thomas Fuller (1608–1661)

from The Holy State and the Profane State (1642)
