A man of wrath stirs up strife, and one given to anger causes much transgression.
A hot-tempered man stirs up strife, but he who is slow to anger quiets contention.
Whoever loves transgression loves strife; he who makes his door high seeks destruction.
As charcoal to hot embers and wood to fire, so is a quarrelsome man for kindling strife.
Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all offenses.
For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice.
Make no friendship with a man given to anger, nor go with a wrathful man,
A man of quick temper acts foolishly, and a man of evil devices is hated.
For pressing milk produces curds, pressing the nose produces blood, and pressing anger produces strife.
