People who habitually yield to anger are likely to acquire an erroneous notion of their own power. For there is no doubt that in anger there is a good deal of power. It often gets what it wants, like every form of self-assertion and tyranny. And what it loses may not be apparent on the surface. Nevertheless what it loses may be so vast as to be incalculable. For, great as the power of anger may be in some cases, it is pitifully small compared with the power of its opposite quality, self-control. And just as self-control may often seem to be a weakness, anger may seem to be a strength. The truth is, of course, that real strength lies not in anger, but in the control of anger.
