He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.For me, though the wording is dissimilar, the sentiment in both verses is about the same.
~ King James version ~
After a bitter quarrel, some resentment must remain.
What can one do about it?
Therefore the sage keeps his half of the bargain
But does not exact his due.
~ from Verse 79 of the Tao Te Ching ~
Anger is derived from our attachment to self and how that self views the world. When we become attached to Tao (or God) solely, we are slow to anger.
