Anger Quote by Charles R. Swindoll

“If we choose to be offended when we don't get our own way, Then we're going to live constantly on the edge of anger. But if we say to ourselves, " A merry heart does good like a medicine," It'll make all the difference in the world.” quote by Charles R. Swindoll
