Let thought and reflection, whenever possible, anticipate sudden passions, which the prudent man can easily do. The first thing to do when you are upset is to be aware of it. First control your emotions and resolve not to aggravate them. With this clever precaution, anger can be quickly put to an end. Know how to control your anger and stop it when it's time to stop: stopping when you're running is hardest; keeping your head clear when you're furious is equally difficult. Excessive excitement, no matter how high or low it is, affects reason. Once you have this awareness of anger, it will not cause you to lose control of your anger, nor will it impair your good discernment. By carefully navigating your emotions, you can gain control over them. You will be the first sensible person on horseback. Wise men are the most impatient because knowledge reduces their patience. Knowledgeable people are hard to please. Uruguay Titus tells us that the most important rule of life is to know how to endure everything. He believed this was half the truth of wisdom. Tolerating stupidity requires a lot of patience. Sometimes the people who cause us the most pain are the people we rely on the most, and this helps us overcome ourselves. Patience brings immeasurable inner peace; and inner peace is a blessing in the world. He who does not know how to tolerate others should be alone if he can tolerate himself.
