Feelings, O My Brother, October

2. "It is when we become angry that we get into trouble. The road rage that affects our highways is a hateful expression of anger."
Gordon B. Hinckley , Slow to
Anger, October 2007 General Conference
3. "Let’s not pass to future generations the grievances, the anger of our time. Let’s remove any hidden wedges that can do nothing but destroy."
Thomas S.
Monson, Hidden Wedges, April 2002 General Conference
4. "Anger is not an expression of strength. It is an indication of one’s inability to control his thoughts, words, his emotions. Of course it is easy to get angry. When the weakness of anger takes over, the strength of reason leaves. Cultivate within yourselves the mighty power of self-discipline."
Gordon B. Hinckley , Our
Solemn Responsibilities, October 1991 General Conference
5. "Anger, hatred, and contention are foes not easily subdued. These enemies inevitably leave in their destructive wake tears of sorrow, the pain of conflict, and the shattered hopes of what could have been. Their sphere of influence is not restricted to the battlefields of war but can be observed altogether too frequently in the home, around the hearth, and within the heart.

Monson, The Path to Peace, April 1994 General Conference
6. "When we feel anger or contention in our homes, we should immediately recognize what power has taken control of our lives and what Satan is endeavoring to accomplish. Solomon provided us this wise formula: “A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger” (Prov. 15:1)."

Peterson, Our Actions Determine Our Character, October 2001 General
Conference

I appreciate the counsel of Abraham Lincoln, who said: “Quarrel not at all. No man resolved to make the most of himself can spare time for personal contention. … Better give your path to a dog than be bitten by him.” (Letter to J. M. Cutts, 26 Oct. 1863, in Concise Lincoln Dictionary of Thoughts and Statements, comp. and arr. Ralph B. Winn, New York: New York Philosophical Library, 1959, p. 107.)"
Russell M.
Nelson, The Canker of Contention, April 1989 General Conference
8. "Sometimes hurts to the heart are more damaging than physical blows. Yes, they may take longer to heal, but they will heal more quickly if we avoid bitterness and anger and practice forgiveness."
Marvin J.
Ashton, While They Are Waiting, April 1988 General Conference
9. "If we desire to have a proper spirit with us at all times, we must choose to refrain from becoming angry."
Thomas S. Monson, School Thy
Feelings, O My Brother, October
2009 General Conference
