He who meets anger with anger is the loser. He who is calm in the face of anger is the winner. He has won a difficult battle.
He who remains calm and unperturbed in the face of anger,
saves both himself and his adversary from violence.
He who remains calm in the face of violence and saves himself and his foe,
is considered a fool by fools, but he is a winner all through!
