🏛️ Stoic Quote

Do not act when the tide of rage flows in. Wait for it to go out. Then act with reason and proportion. - @TheStoicEmperor

In the heat of an argument with a friend or coworker, it's best to pause and collect your thoughts before responding. Waiting for emotions to settle can prevent saying hurtful things out of anger.

A fool gives full vent to his spirit, but a wise man quietly holds it back.

The Bible verse emphasizes the importance of self-control and patience when dealing with strong emotions, reflecting the lesson of waiting for the tide of rage to go out before acting with reason. This requires courage to hold back impulsive reactions and respond wisely.
