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.
Barbara Sher
It is easy to fly into a passion--anybody can do that--but to be angry with the right person to the right extent and at the right time with the right object and in the right way--that is not easy, and it is not everyone who can do it.
Aristotle
A soft answer turns away wrath.
King Solomon
Sadly, some folks want others to feel their pain, to hurt as much as they do--or more. My grandmother once told me to avoid colds and angry people whenever I could. It's sound advice.
Walter Anderson
People who fight fire with fire usually end up with ashes.
Abigail Van Buren
Resentment or grudges do no harm to the person against whom you hold these feelings but every day and every night of your life, they are eating at you.
Norman Vincent Peale
