“Refrain to-night;
And that shall lend a kind of easiness

And either master the devil or throw him out
With wondrous potency.”

He who has enough self-control to stand firm at the moment when the other person is in a temper, wins in the end. It is not he who has spoken a hundred words aloud who has won; it is he who has perhaps spoken only one word.”
