[Guest guest]

And if you read the lives of the great workers which the world has

produced, you will find that they were wonderfully calm men. Nothing,

as it were, could throw them off their balance. That is why the man

who becomes angry never does a great amount of work, and the man whom

nothing can make angry accomplishes so much. The man who gives way to

anger, or hatred, or any other passion, cannot work; he only breaks

himself to pieces, and does nothing practical. It is the calm,

forgiving, equable, well-balanced mind that does the greatest amount

of work.
