You might as well try to talk the sun behind a cloud as to get them in a rage.

Happy the few who have this art! They always get the best of it, they always win the greatest respect, they always are the least likely people for any one to quarrel with.
I don't count these among the two classes of angry people, because they are not angry.

But angry people are generally either in a rage or in the sulks.

Neither is pleasant to meet, yet for my own part I would sooner have to do with the fellow in the rage.

There's no deception about him; he's angry, and he lets you know it; he's got a grievance, and he blurts out what it is; he hits straight out from the shoulder, and you know what you've to expect.
