"I believe that for restraining the foolish silent patience is the best. When extreme hatred or anger or rage is suffered patiently, the other party will naturally calm down. Those without anger, without violence those are noble ones They are disciples of noble ones; those one should always befriend. For those filled with hatred and anger, their hatred is an obstacle heavy as a mountain. But if, at a time of hatred and anger, one can restrain oneself even a little, then that is called good karma like reining in an unruly horse."
