Anyone can become angry – that is easy. But to be angry with the right person, to the right degree, at the right time, for the right purpose, and in the right way – this is not easy.

Aristotle　 384-322 BC
Ancient Greek philosopher

A person who can do this difficult thing smartly is a wise person. A person who can never get emotional and stay calm at all times, who can get angry at the right person, to the right extent, at the right time, for the right purpose, and in the right way, with the generosity and noble sincerity of the ocean, is a wise man with gentlemanly charm. This is a difficult thing for people to do, no matter where they are in the world or throughout history, which is why this quote stands out. If you were angry at someone today, how were you angry?
