Henry Ward Beecher: If a man meets with injustice, it is not required that he shall not be roused…
If a man meets with injustice, it is not required that he shall not be roused to meet it; but if he is angry after he has had time to think upon it, that is sinful. The flame is not wrong, but the coals are.
In today’s wordsIf someone meets injustice, they're not required to stay unmoved; but if they're still angry after time to think it over, that's sinful. The flame isn't wrong, but the coals are.
