“My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, for man's anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires.”

“One day a saint was walking down the road. He met an angel carrying a torch in one hand and a bucket of water in the other. The saint asked ‘What are the torch and the water for?’ The angel replied ‘The torch is to burn down the castles of heaven and the water is to put out the flames of hell. Then we shall see who really loves God.’”
