Seneca:Seneca's Morals, Excerpt 75

Seneca《Seneca's Morals》· Seneca's Morals · Action · Health · Cognition · Growth

It is an idle thing to pretend that we cannot govern our _anger_; for some things that we do are much harder than others that we ought to do; the wildest affections may be tamed by discipline, and there is hardly anything which the mind will do but it may do. There needs no more argument in this case than the instances of several persons, both powerful and impatient, that have gotten the absolute mastery of themselves in this point.
