They call me Temper for a reason, little girl. Rollin’ with the Nines 2006 starring Vas Blackwood & Terry Stone & Simon Webbe & Robbie Gee & Mark Smith & Billy Murray & Naomi Taylor et al, dirctor Julian Gilbey, Temper
Quarrel not at all. No man resolved to make the most of himself can spare time for personal contention. Still less can he afford to take all the consequences, including the vitiating of his temper and loss of self-control. Yield larger things to which you can show no more than equal right; and yield lesser ones, though clearly your own. Better give your path to a dog than be bitten by him in contesting for the right. Even killing the dog would not cure the bite. Abraham Lincoln
Never lose your temper with the press or the public is a major rule of political life. Christabel Pankhurst
A quick temper will make a fool of you soon enough. Bruce Lee
