Subduing Oneself and Understanding Reasons
Huang Zongxi (1610 - 1695, Ming Dynasty)
English translation: Miao Guang and Zhi Yue
It is difficult to remedy anger, and also fear.
Having subdued oneself, anger is thereby remedied,
Having understood reasons, fear is thereby remedied.
── from Song Yuan Xue An (Record of Song and Yuan Scholars)
