v
Sometimes, a holy anger happens for God's sake, but it
does not have nervousness and loss of temper, it is a holy zeal.
v
James, the apostle, said about human anger "...for
the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God." (James
1:20)
St. Aughoris
v
"The prayer of the angry is a defiled and rejected
incense and the offering of the angry is unaccepted.“
v
He also said: "Anger is an action of the insane... It
makes humans like beasts... the eyes of the angry are evil, full of
blood, while the face of the gentle is radiant and his eyes look
with dignity."
St. Agathon
v
"Even if the angry raised the dead, it is not accepted
by God and nobody will come forward to him."
v
An elderly man
v
"The one whose heart is not saddened when his brother
disputes with him is like the angels. If he disputes with him, too,
he later and reconciles immediately. This is the action of
strugglers.
v
On the other hand, he who upsets his brothers gets
angry with them and hatred settles in his heart, is a follower of
the devil, disobedient to God and God will not forgive his sins as
far as he does not forgive the sins of his brothers...
St. Ephram
v
"he who hides envy in his heart is like the one who
keeps a serpent in his lap. Smoke drives the bees away and hatred
drives knowledge away from the heart
The Holy Bible
v
"Do not hasten in your spirit to be angry. For
anger rests in the bosom of fools." (Ecce. 7:9).
It also says,
v
"Make no friendship with an angry man. And with a
furious man do not go." (Prov 22:24).
