It's better to hang out with people better than you. Pick out associates whose behavior is better than yours and you'll drift in that direction. The actions of men are the best interpreters of their thoughts. Anger begins with folly, and ends with repentance. Better silence than ill speech. Timid dogs bark worse than they bite. We must interpret a bad temper as a sign of inferiority. Whatever is begun in anger, ends in shame. Your behaviors are usually a reflection of your identity. What you do is an indication of the type of person you believe that you are either consciously or nonconsciously. There is a transcendent power in example. We reform others unconsciously when we walk uprightly. In anger we should refrain both from speech and action.
