When I see a man angry and irritated, I pray that the Lord will give him peace
and I don’t hear what he says. That’s why I don’t get upset. When he will calm
down and will be given the right opportunity then I speak to him, because then
he is exactly able to understand his foolishness.
Saint Amphilochios Makris of the Holy Island of Patmos
