People are more dangerous when they're calm. When they're loud and aggressive that's usually an act and usually trying to compensate.

Anger makes one not only malign but sharp-sighted.

It's like all those quiet people, when they do lose their tempers they lose them with a vengeance.

who come out limp often have the most trouble. But the ones who come out all pissed off and full of noise,
they’re the fighters. They’re the ones who thrive.

Bright people have the capability of freaking out faster and more dramatically than anyone else.

Nervous and excitable persons need to talk a great deal, by way of letting off their steam.

Bitterness is like cancer. It eats upon the host. But anger is like fire. It burns it all clean.

Some of us, after all, are very good at expressing emotions and feelings, which means that we are far more emotionally contagious than the rest of us. Psychologists call these people “senders.

It’s my dreadful temper! I try to cure it, I think I have, and then it breaks out worse than ever.

The evolvers are people who cause things to change. The maintainers of the status quo do everything to keep things from changing. And, there I see differences of perception. Differences in vision. Differences in interpretation, and differences in temperament, in personality. The number of evolvers are much fewer than the maintainers of the status quo. And amongst the evolvers, there are some who are initiators, some who go along with what other people recognize to be new or different.

I said one day that Dole had a temper, and he got madder than hell. He has one. He has a mean one.

Her anger was rekindled. </br> "You see, I keep it to myself, but, oh! it’s more than I can stand. Don’t say anything, sir; don’t say anything, or I’ll explode!" </br> He said nothing, and she exploded all the same.

I catch fire and find the reserves of courage and assertiveness to speak up. When that happens I get quite carried away. My blood gets hot my brow wet I become unbearably and unconscionably sarcastic and bellicose I am girded for a total showdown.

I have a temper. My mum's got a temper. My brother's got a temper. You've got to have one. You know what happens if you don't have one? One day you're walking down the street and you just pop. You're lying there dead on the pavement because you've been holding and suppressing all this bullshit, you know.
