Proverbs 14:29
He who is slow to anger has great understanding, But he who is quick-tempered exalts folly.
Proverbs 16:32
He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, And he who rules his spirit, than he who captures a city.
Proverbs 17:27
He who restrains his words has knowledge, And he who has a cool spirit is a man of understanding.
