Imam Ali (AS) said, Control the passion of your soul, the intensity of your rage, the power of your hand and the sharpness of your tongue, and guard against all these by delaying the initiation of any action and refraining from using force until your rage subsides and you recover your senses.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : اِمْلِكْ حَمِيَّةَ نَفْسِكَ وَ سَوْرَةَ غَضَبِكَ وَسَطْوَةَ يَدِكَ وَ غَرْبَ لِسانِكَ وَ احْتَرِسْ في ذلِكَ كُلِّهِ بِتَأخِيرِ البادِرَةِ وَ كَفِّ السَّطْوَةِ حَتّى يَسْكُنَ غَضَبُكَ وَ يَثُوبَ إلَيْكَ عَقْلُكَ
