Hot under the collar?

Spending the whole week in anger and annoyance over a small work related issue, I thought it would be going through the few nice quotes I had collected on anger .

As I also could find nothing worthwhile to write about , I thought it would not be a wrong idea to put those quotes down here for the occasional stumbler to this page

I think anyone who reads these/ remembers these while getting hot under the collar , would understand that getting angry is a futile exrecise that only works towards hurting us!! See if you feel so!

My corollary after going through all these is - Never hold on to anger! Just let it go! It's like taking a fistful of dirt to slam on someone; you "might" be successful in throwing it on yor target , but you are "certainly " dirtying your hands in that process.
