ANGER

A cobbler at Leyden, who used to attend the public disputations

held at the Academy, was once asked if he understood Latin.

“No,” replied the mechanic, “but I know who is wrong in the

argument.” “How?” replied his friend. “Why, by seeing who is

angry first.”

Let not your angry passions rise, if you would be a full overcomer.
