Inspirational Quotes by Arthur Gordon

My father who was there, said nothing, but that night, on my pillow I found a marked passage from Aristotle: Anybody can become angry—that is easy, but to be angry with the right person and to the right degree and at the right time and for the right purpose, and in the right way—that is not within everybody’s power and is not easy.
