TEXT: On Anger

It's the mark of a great spirit to regard wrongs as beneath contempt: that the offender appear unworthy of having vengeance exacted from him is the most insulting form of vengeance. Many people, while taking vengeance, have let trivial wrongs get more deeply under their skins; the great and notable man is the one who, like a great beast, listens without concern to small dogs' yapping.
