Calm yourself

Even if your soul should suffer somewhat from an offense, keep the sorrow within yourself. For it is said, “Within me my heart is troubled,” (Psalm 142:4), that is, the passion has not come out, but has been humbled like a wave that has broken up on the shore.  Calm your raging heart. Let your passions be ashamed at the presence of reason in you, as playful children are ashamed before a man commanding respect.
