Anger is fleeting, whereas hostility is enduring.

Deborah Sandella
About This Quote

Anger is fleeting, whereas hostility is enduring. Anger is quick to arise in response to perceived injustice or wrongdoing, anger is fleeting because it soon passes. Hostility on the other hand is enduring in that it persists in the face of adversity. It may begin as anger but in time becomes hatred, animosity, grudge and revenge.
