“It is wise to direct your anger towards problems - not people; to focu...” — William Arthur Ward Quote

It is wise to direct your anger towards problems - not people; to focus your energies on answers - not excuses.

Flatter me, and I may not believe you. Criticize me, and I may not like you. Ignore me, and I may not forgive you. Encourage me, and I will not forget you. Love me and I may be forced to love you.

Adversity causes some men to break; others to break records.

The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.

It is wise to direct your anger towards problems -- not people; to focus your energies on answers -- not excuses.

When you hold on to anger and unforgiveness, you can't move forward.

Anger is one of those emotions that doesn't follow the letter of the law. It speaks before it thinks. It rears up on its hind legs and charges.

What influenced me was Tori Amos, who was unapologetic about expressing anger through music, and Sinead O'Connor. Those two in particular were really moving for me, and very inspiring, before I wrote 'Jagged Little Pill.'

My whole life, people have been saying, Why are you so angry?

So many people live with anger and unforgiveness, and many of them are Christians.
