Scripture

Proverbs 14:29

People with understanding control their anger;
a hot temper shows great foolishness.

Proverbs 15:1
A gentle answer deflects anger,
but harsh words make tempers flare.

Proverbs 15:18
A hot-tempered person starts fights;
a cool-tempered person stops them.

Proverbs 16:32

Better to be patient than powerful;
better to have self-control than to conquer a city.

Ecclesiastes 7:8-10
Finishing is better than starting.
Patience is better than pride.

Control your temper,
for anger labels you a fool.

Don’t long for “the good old days.”
This is not wise.
