A king favors a wise servant,
but his anger falls on a disgraceful one.

A gentle answer turns away anger,
but a harsh word stirs up wrath.

A hot-tempered man stirs up conflict,
but a man slow to anger calms strife.

A person with great anger bears the penalty;
if you rescue him, you’ll have to do it again.

A secret gift soothes anger,
and a covert bribe, fierce rage.

Fury is cruel, and anger a flood,
but who can withstand jealousy?

Mockers inflame a city,
but the wise turn away anger.

A fool gives full vent to his anger,
but a wise man holds it in check.

For the churning of milk produces butter,
and twisting a nose draws blood,
and stirring up anger produces strife.
