Quote of the day by Alexander the Great's teacher, Aristotle: "Anybody can become angry, that is easy, but to be angry with the right person..." Timeless life lessons on anger management, emotional intelligence, self-control and wisdom

Few emotions are as universal as anger. Yet, today's Quote of the Day by the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle reminds us that true wisdom lies not in avoiding anger altogether, but in expressing it with restraint, purpose and good judgement.

Quote of the Day: "Anybody can become angry, that is easy, but to be angry with the right person and to the right degree and at the right time and for the right purpose, and in the right way, that is not within everybody's power and is not easy." — Aristotle, Nicomachean Ethics (Book II, Chapter 9)
