RAGE
[ Also see Anger Emotion Equanimity Hatred Madness Malice Passion Quarrels Resentment Temper ]

Rage is mental imbecility.
      - Hosea Ballou

Rage is essentially vulgar.
      - Samuel Taylor Coleridge

They could neither of them speak for rage, and so fell a-sputtering at one another like two roasting apples.
      - William Congreve

Her colour changed, her face was not the same,
  And hollow groans from her deep spirit came;
    Her hair stood up; convulsive rage possess'd
      Her trembling limbs, and heaved her lab'ring breast.
      - John Dryden

'T was grief no more, or grief and rage were one within her soul; at last 't was rage alone.
      - John Dryden

The pain is in my head; 'tis is in my heart;
  'Tis everywhere; it rages like a madness,
    And I most wonder how my reason holds.
      - Thomas Otway

Rage is a short-lived fury.
      - Jean-Antoine Petit-Senn

When one is transported by rage, it is best to observe attentively the effects on those who deliver themselves over to the same passion.
      - Plutarch

Rage is the shortest passion of our souls,
  Like narrow brooks that rise with sudden showers,
    It swells in haste, and falls again as soon.
      Still as it ebbs, the softer thoughts flow in,
        And the deceiver, love, supplies its place.
      - Nicholas Rowe

'Tis all in vain, this rage that tears thy bosom!
  Like a bird that flutters in her cage,
    Thou beat'st thyself to death.
      - Nicholas Rowe

Oppose not rage while rage is in its force, but give it way awhile and let it waste.
      - William Shakespeare

Hasty wrath and heedless hazardy do breed repentance late and lasting infamy.
      - Edmund Spenser

There is not in nature
  A thing that makes man so deform'd, so beastly,
    As doth intemp'rate anger.
      - Daniel Webster

There is not in nature
  A thing that makes a man so deform'd, so beastly,
    As doth intemperate anger.
      - John Webster, The Duchess of Malfi
         (act II, sc. v)
