Men are like steel —\xa0when they lose their temper, they lose their worth.
Through certain humors or passions, and from temper merely, a man may be completely miserable, let his outward circumstances be ever so fortunate.
Good temper, like a sunny day, sheds a brightness over everything; it is the sweetener of toil and the soother of disquietude.
The happiness and misery of men depend no less on temper than fortune.
A man of knowledge uses words with restraint, and a man of understanding is even-tempered.
When you see anyone complainingtowards the bad-tempered and ill-natured.
Courtesy of temper, when it is used to veil churlishness of deed, is but a knight's girdle around the breast of a base clown.
