SHAKESPEARE ON ANGER, DOUBT &SORROW

Requires slow pace at first: anger is like
A full hot horse, who being allowed his way,
Self-mettle tires him.

Surety secure; but modest doubt is call’d
The beacon of the wise, the tent that searches
To the bottom of the worst

Sorrow breaks seasons, and reposing hours,
Makes the night morning, and the noon-tide night
