If you would cure anger, do not feed it. Say to yourself: 'I used to be angry every day; then every other day; now only every third or fourth day.' When you reach thirty days offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the gods.
Epictetus
Roman (Greek-born) slave & Stoic philosopher (55 AD - 135 AD)
Anger as soon as fed is dead-
'Tis starving makes it fat.
Emily Dickinson (1830 - 1886), Poems, Second Series, 1891
