<h3>THE CONTROL OF THE TEMPER</h3> <div class='poem'> A mild answer turns away wrath,<br/> But a harsh word stirs up anger.<br/> <br/> A man without self-control<br/> Is a ruined city whose wall is broken.<br/> A fool gives way to his wrath,<br/> But a wise man restrains his anger.<br/> A fool's anger is known at once,<br/> <span class="pagenum"><SPAN name="Page_219" id="Page_219">[219]</SPAN></span>But a sensible man heeds not an insult.<br/> <br/> A man's wisdom makes him patient,<br/> It is his glory to overlook faults.<br/> He who is patient is better than a warrior,<br/> And he who rules his temper than he who takes a city.<br/></div> <div style="break-after:column;"></div><br />
