¹¹ If you are sensible, you will control your temper. When someone wrongs you, it is a great virtue to ignore it.

³ Any fool can start arguments; the honorable thing is to stay out of them.

²⁸ If you cannot control your anger, you are as helpless as a city without walls, open to attack.

⁸ People with no regard for others can throw whole cities into turmoil. Those who are wise keep things calm.
