TEMPER. (54)

54; 1. Hoiv to Tame a Quick Temper. —Is there any cure for a quick temper? Yes, there is; a slow one, but a very sure one, namely; fighting it out the same day with yourself (explained more fully in Section 2:2.) This always results in slowly but surely giving a man control ot even the worst temper. Nor do I know of any other cure. But since this is so effective, and so helpful in many other ways, no fair-minded man can complain at its slowness.

54:2.

Then catch the other, if you can; but not till then.
