When the shit hits the fan…

Sunday, October 25th, 2009

So the Chinese say: Anger is always more harmful than the insult that caused it. If you are patient in one moment of anger, you will escape a hundred days of sorrow. Hmmm. The best quote that I found about anger though, was this one: Anger helps straighten out a problem like a fan... »
