About This Quote
When your enemy makes you angry, that anger can be used as an opportunity to grow your understanding of the situation. When you see your enemy’s actions as a lesson in patience, you can react in a way that is more peaceful and less aggressive. The more calm and peaceful a person becomes, the more they will attract others to that calmness and peacefulness.
