Some people with a hot temper do not worry about it and ignore the remedies that would heal them. They forget, unfortunately, what is written: "Surely anger kills the fool, and jealousy slays the simple." (Job 5:2)'

"You cannot learn to see just because someone tells you to do so. For that, you require your own natural power of sight. In the same way, you cannot discover from the teaching of others the beauty of prayer. Prayer has its own special teacher in God, who 'teaches man knowledge' (Ps. 93:10). He grants the prayer of him who prays. And He blesses the years of the just."
