You may think it is the macho thing to flare up in anger and swear and profane the name of the Lord. It is not that macho thing. It is an indication of weakness. Anger is not an expression of strength. It is an indication of one's inability to control his thoughts, words, his emotions. Of course it is easy to get angry. When the weakness of anger takes over, the strength of reason leaves. Cultivate within yourselves the mighty power of self-discipline.
Gordon B. Hinckley, Ensign Now 1991, 49
