Diplomacy: the art of restraining power.

Art in Nature is rhythmic and has a horror of constraint.

Without freedom no art art lives only on the restraints it imposes on itself and dies of all others.

When anger rushes unrestrained to action like a hot steed it stumbles on its way. The man of thought strikes deepest and strikes safely.

The one who cannot restrain their anger will wish undone what their temper and irritation prompted them to do.

Anger if not restrained is frequently more hurtful to us than the injury that provokes it.
