24 Don't make friends with people who have hot, violent tempers. 25 You might learn their habits and not be able to change.

22 People with quick tempers cause a lot of quarreling and trouble.

17 People with a hot temper do foolish things; wiser people remain calm.

11 Sensible people control their temper; they earn respect by overlooking wrongs.

10 If you fall to pieces in a crisis, there wasn't much to you in the first place.
