The Folly of Meeting Anger with Anger
Ephesians 4:26
Be you angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down on your wrath:


Like as if a man join fire to fire, he maketh the flame the greater; even so, if a man think to suppress another man's anger by being angry himself, he shall both lose his labour, and rather increase the other man's anger.

(Cawdray.)A mad dog that bites another makes him as mad as himself; so, usually the injuries and reproaches of others foster up our revenge, and then there is no difference between us.

(T. Manton, D. D.)
