 nothing struggles with anger in its youth and early stages without defeating it and nothing disputes with it before it ends and departs without subduing it. rather one must plot against it before it is aroused.
وليس يصارع الغضب أيام شبابه وغرب نابه شيء إلا صرعه، ولا ينازعه قبل انتهائه وإدباره شيء إلا قهره. وإنما يحتال له قبل هيجه،
