- All I know is that I don't know.
- Angry temper is temper turned outward toward another.
- Anticipation of an event is usually worse than the realization of that event.

- Be group minded.
- Be self led, not symptom lead.
- Calm begets calm, temper begets temper.
- Change your thoughts and impulses and your feeling and sensations will follow suit.

- Everyday is full of frustration and disappointment. That's average.
